Please put the TLM refernce in a spoiler box.

This is probably the terminal velocity at earth gravity. If you change the gravity (e.g. by multiple lashings) it will change.

I don`t think it could be used as atium, but it will probably act as electrum - countering other people`s atium (we see it works against odium`s futuresight).

Because of the way the question was phrased: He asked what is lerasium savant or if lerasium savantism is imposible because it will require so much power of the shard that is imposible to get without becoming the vessel.

I don`t think so. This is the WoB saying this: The more likely interpratation is that you cant become lerasium savant without taking all of the shard.

No. Power is "magic power". Abilities are things like speed, strength and such things. Stealing inate investiture is by nicrosil since it is stealing investiture.

Ohhh.... I was not aware of this WoB. Then I agree - it probably could work.

But with storing identity you can make only unsealed goldminds that only other feruchamists (or gold ferrings) can access.

Please specify that this is a SP4 spoiler.

I would like them to be longer. Mainly to add worldbuilding - In RoW (and to some degree in previuos books) all the interludes were directly related to the main plot which was dissapointing. I want more TWoK style interludes that show what happens in some part of the world or give some intersting worldbuilding fact. The best example of missing worldbuilding is the near history of Roshar - we have heard almost nothing about any event between the recreance and Alethi unification wars.

Honorblade is made of solid investiture (called godmetal).

It is not confirmed but strongly implied: In the books the sibling says that her imprision harmed all those connected to Roshar and we hear from Maya that the spren did not know about deadeyes before the recreance. It is also confirmed by WoB that there were no deadeyes before the recreance and the imprisionmant is probably the major change during this time.

I think the connection would count as part of the oaths and the something else is different - probably Ba-Ado-Mishram related, since capturing her is what caused the spren to become deadeyes when the oaths are broken.

I won`t count the carriage driver for that - at this point she didn`t imagine they would kill a bystander and only after his death she understood what the ghostbloods are willling to do. Basically her arc with the Ghostbloods started when she believe Jasnah was dead and she trying to investigate who the ghostbloods are. By the time Jasnah came back she was already in too deep to get out easily. She had to start dealing with them when she was totally unpreperd for such big tasks and she got manipulated by Mraize. Just exposing Mraize won`t eliminate the threat - the ghostbloods probably had a lot of other operatives in the tower or at least a lot of agents that could easily get there. Also, Mraize threatened to kill her brothers if she did not cooperate. Edit: In adition, I don`t think Jasnah would kick her out of the tower because she doesn`t trust her. Jasnah doesn`t trust most people. She will keep a closer eye on Shallan (and probably send people to spy on her) but she won`t stop using her. From the way Jasnah thought of Shallan in her POV she might blame herself for not keeping an eye on Shallan earlier (in the sense of "I should have known she might get in trouble she cant handel").

I believe that by the end of RoW Jasnah already knows about it. It seems that Shallan told Wit about it and Wit explain to Jasnah about Thaidakar and the Ghostbloods - I will be very surprised if he didn`t told her also about Shallan the moment he found out. I very hope we will see this in the begining of KOWT. Wit`s involvment is a big advantage for Shallan in this case - he seems to be protective of her and will likely help her explain her actions to Jasnah.

Right. There is also secret history which takes place in the era 1 times but is intended to be read after BOM (i.e. in the middle of era 2 books) sice it contains spoilers for BOM. *Some people who don`t mind spoilers prefer to read secret history with era 1.

I generally agree with this part. It seems that Odium and Amaram had some talks before this but Odium clearly took advantage Amaram. But I think this is because Odium doesn`t care for the people and not because the mechanics of the magic are inherently bad. Even for the knights radiant we saw examples of spren bonding human without the human realising what they are agreeing to or when the humans are in a vulnerable state (Kaladin not wanting syl at the begining, Testament bonding a little girl Shallan, you can argue that Lift+Wyndle is aso slightly problematic). My point is that bonding Yelig-nar is probably not neccesserally in such unhealthy situation and maybe it is possible to bond an unmade in an "healthier" way.

With Yelig-nar it seemed to be a symbiotic relationship - the human swalowing the gem was a willing participant (in both cases they died shortly after but they agreed to it). But I do use the term bondsmith pretty loosely here - I do think they might be able to create some form of light but that might be all the similarities.

Those are the fused. I agree that they don`t have adhesion. The unmade have different abiities. The WoB above seems intentionaly vague so I believe it is possible for a bond with an unmade to be some kind of a bondsmith (maybe not exactly they as those we know) but I agree that mostly we don`t know what will happen in this case.

Do you have a source for that? Ba-Ado-Mishram connecting with all the singers sounds similar to bondsmithing.

Something like that. It is unclear what magic the humans had on Ashyn, maybe they had the same powers but accessed differently so saying "different magic system" is dependant on the definition of a magic system but we know it was not powered by Honor.

Sorry. There was a question but I understood the answer myself and forgot to delete the quate. Okay, I understand what you mean now. I just find the name confusing. I trifractions sounds weird also to me, but I think it is better than a confusing name (of course if I am the only one being confused by it it shoudn`t matter). Sorry, but I just want to reiterate that trirationals are complex numbers. I mentioned projective coordinates in my blog post as just another example of homogeneous coordinates, but... are you saying that trirationals can exist in both the complex plane and a projective space at the same time? What you defined is basically a map from the projective plane (or more precisely a subspace of the projective plane to the comlex numbers). And you are trying to study this map, which is a homomorphism of multiplicative groups. Another thing you might want to do (if you do it in the parts I haven`t read yet foget this comment) is to look at the kernel of this map - when a>b>c=1? For example:

When you refer to a "trirational number" a>b>c do you demand that a,b,c are integers or do you allow them to be real numbers? The name you gave them implies the first but it seems from what you wrote that you mean the second. If you are allowing them to be any real numbers (b,c positive) then you might want to rename it to something like tri-fractions I have read the first 3 parts and I have an idea on a way to look at it that will enable you to extend it to n-dimensions : Since you are looking at elements of a projective space and define multiplication as element-by-element multiplication it might be usefull to look at it as a Lie group and look at the logarithm map to the Lie algebra - there you have addition as an element-by-elemnt addition. So to define the n-dimension extension of your Lie group you might want to define an n-dimensional Lie algebra. I will try to read the rest when I will have time. edit: In part 4 when you say " Let's define a "polytopic group" to be a finite cyclic group whose group operation is the multiplication operation of a certain algebra. The span of the group's elements within the algebra's vector space determines the polytopic group's dimensionality, and its convex hull is a polytope with the same dimensionality. " In part 4 chapter "Xn and the orthoplxic group" : how do tou define the multiplication in the group?

It is implied in those chapters (there are clues along the way that make the suspect list narrower and narrower) and Brandon confirmed it.

No. it takes place in the (far?) future. Have fun reading it!
