Circular time and Eternal Recurrence in the WOT

[hazelkrs1]

Hey everyone, not sure who here is familiar with me. I'm the front page theory blogger for DM, and I've greatly enjoyed the opportunity I've had to expouse all my various ideas and concepts. I lurk here a lot, used to post here a lot more before my blog, but now I like to save my best tidbits for my blog lol.

 

Anyhoo I am actually particularly proud of this week's blog, it took a lot out of me just to write, but I think it brings up some interesting questions and I wanted to see what everyone who hasn't had a chance to check it out yet thought.

Adios!

Off the top of my head, Moridin's thinking is light wins: repeat cycle, light loses: repeat cycle, but there's another outcome which is DO stomping reality then the cycle doesn't repeat. Since removing the DO is impossible, he'll eventually win. Granted the mistake is thinking that means I have to help bring on the apocalypse :)

 

I don't think it's clear about the larger things like what happens at the end of age 7 to go back to age 1 and so on. Very unlikely to get any main source info that's inarguable on that point. You know, little things like entropy or heartstone sticking around forever or any of tons of other issues. (RJ was specifically asked about big bang/crunch stuff and handwaved it iirc--something like the sun won't explode, etc...)

 

As for living in a WoT cosmos, you seem to have free will so that's good (excepting rare patterny stuff). Granted you have the downside of saying or dreaming the wrong thing then you're property of the DO too :)
