According to the Coppermind, we (the readers) know, from the text, of 10 specific sets of Plate, and 19 specific Shardblades.  I don't see any reason to assume their numbers are the same when we are explicitly told there are roughly twice as many Blades as Plate.

 

With the amount of plate and blade we know as a fact existed added on to a logical amount that should have existed 9 more blades than plates is completely negligible and means nothing 

And how does a civilization just lose hundreds of artifacts worth more than kingdoms?

All answers are speculative, which is why it’s mostly a waste of time to try, but the question is very strong from what we know

Wayne’s Ma says the story happened when Jak was young (implying he no longer is) and she tells it about 20 odd years before AoL. Assuming Jak was 30ish when Ma tells the story, he’s 50ish during AoL.

Except that he doesn’t ever seem to act that way or show the effects of age, and Wax acts like they’re the same age, even though it seems that Jak is about a decade older. And Jak was mistaken for Wax, which seems unlikely if he’s a full decade older.

Basically, there’s something off about Jak.

Jak was around and famous when Wayne was a child, about 20 years before AoL. 

I have questions...

What’s wrong with it?

It is a fact.

The debate is pointless, but it is a fact.

Frustration -I won’t listen to your side and I have no proof to mine…but I’m right

We had a debate about this and you brought nothing substantial, maybe it was with someone else I don’t remember, but the facts are that willing is such a loose term that anyone that has the least bit of intelligence (or a better term would be סכל) which a six year old child by almost definition has just reached can be willing

But I’ll try to stop derailing all threads that touch on the CCT

No, it's skill.

Otherwise the other Heralds couldn't do it.

That was my read of it, but I was trying to fit it in with Realmatics since that was what the OP was going for

@Szeth_Pancakes another clue?

Wait, what if he's just Connecting to their cognitive aspects so he can perceive their thoughts, and act in accordance to them.

That’s…not how Cognitive Aspects work, I don’t think so at least

He can be Connecting to their neurons and be getting more processing power from some more shenanigans so he can interpret messages before the limbs get them (That’s faster than the speed of light reactions though…)

Connecting himself to the future? Is it that easy to explain?

More like Connecting to their future but it’s mostly the same

Probably is easier said than done…

They can't but if the eight last months have proven anything it's that this debate is even more fruitless than the one on whether Renarin has the Surge of Progression or its Void

Yes it is

I disagree on this point, a child can be willing 

just as he can be willing to eat a slice of pizza

I have thought about it and my answer is: On Roshar it is common to carry around little objects of Investiture. Nobody would think it weird and it would be difficult to distinguish a glowing sphere from a glowing coin. Both are small, round and would glow so bright that you would not notice one was flat on two sides and the other a sphere.

 

But this is Taravangian we’re talking about, who knows he’s dealing with somebody special

Your really stretching the realm of possibility if your saying the difference is a flat coin and a round sphere and TOdium didn’t bother to check even though he has quite literally all the time in the world (space between moments and all)

If someone is hoarding Blades on a large scale, and they are not hoarding Plate to the same extent, then the numbers make sense. 

Actually that’s not completely true, seeing as all Plate at the time is in the PR and only a few blades are in the PR it’s possible that their numbers are close to the same.

It all really depends on how many blades were summoned at the time of the Recreance and how many were 4th Ideal

But either way the numbers that the hoarding has to be, makes the difference between plate and blade negligible so I wouldn’t call it a different extent even if there were less Plate. if that makes sense

A metalmind should glow because it's investiture, but that doesn't mean Odium would thing it odd that hoid has something with a little bit of investiture on him, he probably has several things

He could tell immediately that the Breaths held memories, why not the same with a Coppermind?

Just now, Jondesu said:

We only know this to be the case on Scadrial where all metal glows. We don’t know that they would glow on Roshar.

It should make no difference whether it’s Scadrial or Roshar it should glow either way

It’s not such a small detail but rather the crux of the entire theory of why TOdium would not have noticed a glowing piece of metal

Is that a bond? I just thought it was that he was spiked so he could contact him

Nope (he has a bond?)

I assume you would call the thing he did to Survive in the well a Bond

Kelsier

I’m pretty sure that Invested Metalminds glow to Shards so it’s pretty hard to hear that TOdium would not have noticed it

This implies that the different manifestations of Investiture are not known to each Shard

Not really, the emphasis should be put on strength which would mean that they know it exists but not how strong it is

He *imagined* the meeting, as in he created images of it. How? Lightweaving.   

Or imagine is being used like it usually is; as he thought it would go

I’m not seeing anything that would say this did happen or is likely to happen, there really is no evidence and it is heavily heavily implied that what we thought happened did actually happen (because that’s what’s written in the book)
