Good point ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 05/01/2010 07:52:04 PM
Nynaeve's boat in aCoS proves nothing. It moved back a hundred paces because the oarsmen were balefired.


Ah yes, you're right. That wasn't something I had thought about until I started replying to randfandom's post - I should have thought about it more before replying. :<img class=' />

If the boat had a thread, one part of it being balefired would have meant the whole boat would be balefired. That did not happen.


Also a good point. This reminds of something I had though about at one time or another, with respect to objects having threads (which I'd forgotten about until just now). If objects have threads, then each component of the boat (hull plank, sail, rudder, etc.) should have had a thread before the boat was constructed. Do they all combine into one thread, when the various components are combined to construct the boat? Or do they remain individual threads?

Much easier to associate threads with living bodies (I'd say souls, but RJ said that soulless, living bodies still have threads).

Except ... as the DO causes the Pattern to unravel, we see how it affects buildings/hallways/etc., and not just people. So, those buildings/hallways/etc. are a part of the Pattern, it would seem, and therefore the theory that they also have threads becomes a little more substantial, I think.

I'm sure that the coat scene in tGS was a mistake, and BS was mistaken when he said objects had threads.


Could be, but I'm defintitely not "sure".

Wasn't there a quote somewhere BlackAdder - 06/01/2010 02:05:32 AM 957 Views
Probably a bit of retconning there by Brandon Lord Haart - 06/01/2010 03:34:55 PM 936 Views

Exactly! *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/01/2010 05:27:52 PM 502 Views
Maybe you cannot invert compulsion? Datakim - 06/01/2010 06:56:35 PM 972 Views
so it's the one and only thing we've seen that can't be inverted? seems a little darius_sedai - 06/01/2010 11:31:09 PM 907 Views
