I thought the main meaning of the quote was that " A spren is Investiture that is alive", so Adonalsium would definitely fit those two categories. Also, it seems likely that if Adonalsium was a spren, somebody would do what you do to spren, which is bond.

Okay, here's a weird theory. There is a Jordancon WOB saying that Adonalsium is like a big spren. So, Adonalsium could be a spren, then somebody could bond with Adonalsium. I don't know who, but I would suggest Hoid since he seems to regret something and if he bonded with Adonalsium, he might be responsible for his shattering. Also, Hoid seems to be involved with everything. But, it could be anybody. My theory is, whoever bonded Adonalsium betrayed him, and that resulted in the shattering of Adonalsium.

Yes, that would make sense. He is a giant spren of all the forms of investiture. What if somebody bonded him?

Adonalsium probably was in the Beyond. But I see your point!

Aluminum seems like the perfect Adonalsium weapon, for a few reasons: It is essentially invisible to Ruin and Preservation, so Adonalsium probably wouldn't have seen the weapon. It is immune to soulcasting, so Adonalsium wouldn't have been able to make the weapon into something else. It is extremely rare, so Adonalsium wouldn't have been able to plan ahead for an aluminum attack, because he might not have seen it before.

If aluminum is so "immune" for lack of a better word to most forms of investiture, could it have had something to do with the killing of Adonalsium?

I think it has the most to do with who fights, and on whose territory. Let's assume that every fighting capable member except for the shardholders themselves join the fight. So for Roshar, that means that the Parshendi are fighting with the humans, and every single nation of Roshar is working together. With Scadrial, that means that the north and the south are united and sharing recources. I think it matters which planet they are fighting on. The Parshendi forms wouldn't work on Scadrial, because they have no spren, so that would take away a lot. The allomancers would be completely powerless on Roshar. So I think it matters whose planet the fight is happening on.

I think it's a bit odd that Kandra spikes are iron. Since iron steals physical strength, it makes sense that Koloss have them, bit why do they give Kandra sentience?

It can't be abandonment, because when Galivar suggested that he was going to return their gods (spren), they killed him. I think they are afraid of the spren. Maybe they came from Odium?

He seems to know a lot. Could he be from the ? He is probably some sort of worldhopper.

But do those similar spren have a bond?

In the Letter, Hoid says that Odium is Adonalsiums hate "taken completely out of context". So I would think that they mix nicely together inside of Adonalsium.

The Adonalsium oddity is definitely not a coincidence. Could it be that he took "Hoid" from Adonalsium since they are both about God?

What would the cognative realm look like on Threnody or First of the Sun?

They probably exist in the cognitive realm (or spiritual realm, I'm not sure) and so they can move easily through anything without a cognitive (or spiritual) aspect. When they encounter something with a lot of aspect, like a person (so they can grab the person) they can't go through it.

They probably accidentally severed the bonds by doing something to contradict their oaths first, and then dropped their weapons as a result of the screaming. By the way, would shardplate scream? Is it spren?

Or, it could have been that part of the bane was that she was sent to Hearthstone, and her eyes were switched so that Dalinar could never marry her for political reasons. Then, she had Kaladin after that. So Dalinar has no idea about Hearthstone or Kaladin.

It had to be Renarin, because he's the only Truthwatcher, and even if Lightweavers had some forensic abilities, this is pretty darn forensic for just a half-forensic person.

This is a really stupid question, but as you can probably tell from looking at my signature, I am having difficulties espousing theories. Help?

I think it might have something to do with the fact that what Kaladin is trying to do is healing, and only healing. Healing has its limits, like how Wayne is always mad that when he draws from his health, it makes him un-drunk. So, healing's ultamate goal is to make you perfectly healthy, but if your self image isn't total health, then it makes you healthy except for that small error.

Maybe we could switch it to one of the exemplary articles in the editors corner?

The metals are numbers, but I think that the Aons are code. It might be a coincidence, but I think that the crazyness and complexities of the Roshar chapter headings mean something, and that was the only correlation I could think of.
