Foreshadowing in Navani's Notebook?

[Duke of Lizards she/her]

Greetings! I've been a long-time lurker and I just joined because my sisters and I are collectively developing a theory...more on that later...but, while doing so, I stumbled upon something that I'm not sure anyone has brought up.  I figured, since I'm pretty new at this, a far less complicated post would be a good start. If this has been previously discussed, apologies.  

I was analyzing the illustrations from Navani's notebook, and I was caught by surprise by what could possibly be some strong foreshadowing.  The illustration details a fabrial that is used to read emotion (from TWoK).  On the page, four examples of the emotions read are listed as follows:

1. Man betrayed by a close friend

2. Woman who has just been proposed to

3. Man who discovered his betrothed lied to him

4. Mother at wedding of only son

So, I assume that this is an invention of Navani's and that these are actual readings that she took from people she actually knows.  Obviously, each example can be debated a number of ways.  (I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm not steadfastly convinced of my interpretation.)  The four scenarios, however, could be connected in the sense that they involved the same group of people...specifically a certain three young people who's pairings are hotly debated on this very forum.  Thoughts?  Discuss... I'm very excited to see what people say.  Rip it apart...go!

Or, 1. being Dalinar at the tower, with Sadeas, the man he had fought with for years and years.

2. Navani herself.

3. Adolin- when Shallan reveals as a radiant.

4. -

So we know that Navani's interludes are set after a few of the books, this could be her recording these emotions with the fabrial as they happen, with us poor readers not hearing about it till now... Just my thoughts.

STORMS!!!! this is amazing! 

Well, none of those would probably be Kaladin - can you see Kal sticking around for Navini to but a bracelet on his wrist and reading his feelings?  

how do the translations work?

I got the translations right here on The Coppermind.  I will not take credit for doing this!  The brilliant Harakeke apparently translated this in 2010.  Here is a link from that revelation:  http://twg.17thshard.com/index.php?topic=7882.msg0#msg0

@Roadwalker  @btcannon @Sami @Tesh   Thank you guys so much for responding to my post!  Being a complete noob, I posted this twice, once in the "Introduce yourself" forum category and once in the "Stormlight Archive" forum category (Same title).  There is further discussion going on there.  I'd love to invite you to join it.
