So the number ten is sacred on roshar. But is 10 really a truly significant number or just a cultural lie ? Like on Scadrial it was assumed there were only 10 metals . But in reality it was 16 metals . Leras made it a constant which can be recognized anywhere.Tlr suppressed knowledge of the other metals and they didn't have the technology to refine then either Similarly could it be that there are other surges , 6 of them undiscovered cause technology and scientific progress hasn't really increased. I guess electricity could be considered a surge. So could strong or weak nuclear forces. Now the surges aren't strictly limited to natural forces , concepts like transformation and Transportation are alive and can be bound as well. So there might be undiscovered concepts like maybe , quantum mechanics or qbits. The surge of Information. Perhaps relative time could also be a surge similar to allomantic cadmium and bendalloy. But then again maybe I'm overthinking. Maybe 16 was leras's obsession and it's significance is endemic to the scadrian system ? So whatchu think ? Any WoBs ?
