I dont think they are seperate lists, I think the old got thrown out once he learned more, as is the scholarly way. Heres his quote on it.

1. Given they are all goods, ruled together does not necissarialy mean they ruled as one unit, wouldbyou not agree that the high princes ruled together even as they fought. 2. Same as point 1. Ruling together and ruling as one are different things entirley 3. Odium has invested, see the fused and odiuns spren. He invests less but its still investing 4. Does it, do we have proof of this. Broken is also an ambigious term that could mean anything. To quote brandon again the third shard is Odium. Theres nothing ambigious about that it is word for word a quote.

I mean it litterally asks did he follow or was he the third shard. Which Brandon said hes the third shard, this indicates roshar (which is used to reference the system as much as the planet, ie odium is locked on braze but he is still on the planet roshar) has only had Honor Cultivation and Odium. Heres some other wob and one on the system (from a connection point of view) wob

I dont think likes to pull things appart, is a literal leave everything in pieces. People who like to understand how things work are often said to pull things apart, in this respect I could see Navanis curiosity into how things work to attract an ashspren

This is theoretically possible (I dont thinks its stated that you need to complete the first bond, but that may be required)

Unfortunatley theres a WOB that the three shards are Honor, Cultivation and Honor.

5 oaths carried out by two parties equals 10, also i believe (ill search for the WOB later) that 5 oaths was chosen from a writting perspective as 10 oaths for 10 orders was alot of work. But the number 10 being common on roshar is different from all indications around the oaths specifically being 5 He certainly does, but its not that Nale said theres only 5 oaths and that he is off the 5th oath, given hes likely had thousands of years, if anyone was to swear extra oaths it would be Nale.

A WOB is not realy a vague reference though is it? And the limit being the 5 oath is a common belief because everything in the book points to 5 oaths, theres not even a hint of a 6th oath radiant, this is what i ment by your only evidence is theres no evidence that it doesnt exist. But to each their own and maybe it will happen.

I dont think you can use the "theres no proof its not" as a real argument for a 6th oath existing. As to there being a limit see above WOB and that limit being the 5th oath see Nale, if anyone has the time and dedication to reach a higher oath it would be Nale as both the pateon and a member of the Skybreakers. Everything in world points to 5 oaths per nahel bond being the limit, there is no foreshadowing or evidence to suggest a 6th oath radiant (with the obvious exception of multiple bonds, but i dont think that counts)

There is also this WOB

IIRC surgebinders where originally unbounded by oaths and it was Ishar that introduced order and law. This to me indicates that a 5th oath radiant is the equivilant of a fully bonded surgebinder (pre Ishar) and as such a 6th oath with the same spren would gain nothing (be words only).

Ive bolded the part that can easily be categorised as homophobic. The original poster may not have indended it but that doesnt change the homophobic nature of the comment.

Firstly you do not just read the Abstract nor base your entire view on the paper based on one line in it, the entire paper is only 15 pages long. To quote a section in the results (again please read the whole paper) So the actors, could not simulate alter personalities, despite "acting" the appropriate age. For the host and alters however, the Alpha waves suggested different maturity and trauma levels. Have you read through what you linked? That is not a research paper, it is an opinion piece.

There is significant literature that suggests alters are as real and different as you and me. Here is one good example (see link below) that i think examines your "she is playing multiple roles" adequitely as people with DID where compaired to actors using an EEG. In short, Veil, Radiant and Shallan are indeed distinct people who share a body, and are as distinct as Drehy and Skar, with the obvious restriction of sharing one physical body. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/j229v03n01_06?casa_token=orNOfzJFb7wAAAAA:hTFPtaG1YDq51EfULDdEz2Ol5Zo3_TYaCMHx0iSB5eDNH6lb6qnYrIw75era-e97tpvuV-DZpaeiPQ

I think you are vastly over simplifying DID Shallan is not pretending to be Veil during these times, she is Veil. Just because she has magic to give an outward sign of this change does not mean she is lieing to herself.

Dustbringer and elsecaller both close 1/2. Which are the two orders I am most drawn to. Its too bad both their books are in the back five.

If this was anything more than chance or paranoia on Gavilars part, after all he is having secret meetings all the time, then Nale was also in the room with Gavilar, and he has a high spren that could have been watching

Haha im the one being obtuses, how then do you tell wombats apart without looking at their genetalia? For instance, what gender is this wombat? Also, you where making comment about Brandon writing to a political agenda.

What do cloths have to do with gender identification? I also thought you had issue with Kaladin not noticing stubble mid fight to the death and not whether Leshwin was wearing clothing or not.

Is it, how would one tell wombats apart without looking at their genitalia? The fact that Kaladin didnt remark on Leshwins stubble when it is not a defining characteristic of them during a fight scene is not Brandon taking a stance. It would be weird if he did as it would break up the pacing (out of wolrd) and would also not be something someone thinks while fighting for their life (in world).
