This does indicate that some kinds of similarity are important. Shape change is a no.
-
Might want to switch it up a bit and use something like Science Fiction. It always amazes me how many well read people have not read I Robot for example. -
Point taken. Why is it that Soulcasting can't alter somethings shape though?
-
The main problem I have found with Copperminds is that they cannot be copied. One of the most important parts of any information storing or distributing system is the ability to copy information. If unkeyed Copperminds are to become useful their needs to be a way for someone to rapidly make copies of them otherwise they will be of limited use. Can anyone think of a way to make more then one memory from one Coppermind?
-
I personally think that someone has found a way around the memory vanishing thing by now. I also think that if they have that Kelsier would record his experience saving people in order to inspire himself and his fellow survivors.

In Rysn's interlude her bebesk mentions that they change the shape of wood and then soulcast them to make tools so similarity is somewhat important in that instance as we know that you can soulcast things to change shape but they choose not to presumably because it is easier.

What kind of WoB do you expect? We know that familiarity matters when changing one thing to another in forgery. We know that Rosharans understand transformation in nature to occur via the surge of transformation. We know that objects in shadesmar "think" and like being the way they are. It stands to reason that these objects would prefer to stay somewhat similar to what they were. Strictly speaking it is a theory but it is based on observation not guesswork. Rock that used to be air changes more readily back into something like air. Therefore I reason that rock that used to be vaporous will be more easily converted into a vaporous substance. I do not think that the method by which the transformation is accomplished to be significant in either case and I am not sure that a Rosharan would realy see a difference either.

Cultivation: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This is my point. Kaza reminds the stone of a previous form to return them to something like their previous selves as Rosharans understand the world Transformation is a surge that can be accessed via soulcasting. A Rosharan scientist likely views the change of crem the highstroms drop into stone as a real world example of this surge. Reminding crem (or stone) of where it comes from to change it back into its old form.

Events don't happen at all until observed or at least detected.
-
But nothing would happen, ever.

Calsium. When burned it helps your skin stay in good condition. Zinc. When burred it cures the common cold.
-
Um who is I? Also killing Sanderson would effectively shut down the universe. Sounds like a poor trade off for the billions who live on Cosmere worlds.
-
This has always bothered me. Can't wait to see the weirdos who have compounded copper memories though.
-
That is because her soulcaster only makes smoke not because the rock into air transformation is impossible.
-
Critical word is seems. On earth most stone spent long periods as various gasses that condensed into stone over long periods of time. Assuming that Crem also spends time in a gaseous state(while in highstorm) you can remind it of its former state as Kaza did in her interlude. This is speculation but I think that it is well reasoned.
-
Considering the political system that Reshek created not having some kind of messianic figure take over from TLR would only lead to problems as we saw with Elend. I would also like to categorize Kelsier's arrogance as a quality that is separate from his racism.
-
From my understanding of Rosharan ecology most stone on Roshar comes from the highstorms in the form of crem which latter hardens into stone.
-
HHHmmmm. I kinda want this to become the longest thread ever just for the irony.
-
Actually almost all stone on earth spent time in a gaseous state and physically many components of stone on Roshar might have some knowledge of what it is like to be air because they come from highstorms in the form of crem. Turning rock into smoke therefore seems fairly easy.
-
Perhaps live plate is stronger or regrows faster? Also midnight essences could be able to destroy it easier. They are not exactly conventional opponents.
-
Adolin will set up Kaladin on a date(need to see). Jasnah will make a great speech of historical significance.
-
In fact as far as most Rosharans are concerned Stone is solidified Crem which some say is Cultivation's investiture.
