I like this idea. It makes sense to me that it has to do with growing the plate. We have seen that most of the 16 shards have similarities and since the parshendi grow their own armor it seems consistent that the radiants can grow their own set of armor too.

Getting back to Hoid, is it possible he is trying to get a connection to all 16 shards and then steer all of the shards to destroying each other at the same time so he can pick them all up at once? I believe in M: Sh it mentioned that Ruin could not leave Scadrial (Sp). If so, I think someone would have to pick them all up at the same time or in the same place if they wanted to become the next Adonalsium. If Hoid is trying to become the new Adonalsium (which I don't know if I like that or not), then it seems like he would have to do it this way. We have seen him take an interest in how things are playing out and I though that I had read that everything will come to a head in the last mistborn trilogy. If this is the case. I could see this being Hoid's end goal. Slight manipulations hear and there to drive everything towards all the shards being freed at the same time and then taking all of them in. If the shards all negate each other then it could be possible for Hoid to maintain his personality and then, hopefully, be a good god. Or I guess, they could cause him to be useless and incapable of really doing anything like what is happening to Harmony. All that seems certain is that Hoid has some interest in how things play out but that no one (other world hoppers) really knows what it is.

Is this why people say that Kelsier is a sliver? What exactly is the Kelsier's ghost - Preservation thing because I can't think of any time that kelsier held Preservation's power.
