Egwane and Perrin in White Tower

When Egwane was battling Mesaana and other Blacks in White Tower in dream, she stumbled upon Perrin.

Instead of telling him to run away, or alerting him about the foresaken, she tried to bind him with ropes. Why did she do that?

If Perrin had been a noob dream-walker, he might have been stuck there until the Foresaken or any of the Blacks found him.

And before that she asked him whereabouts of Rand.
That was stupid too.

Two Rivers Tobacc

Two Rivers Tobacc was famous in all the mainland and even in the Aiel Waste. Meaning it was commodity sought after greatly. This should have brought alot of money in the village and merchants.

Then why was it ignored by Andor? Seeing the potential of taxes. Also the wool was exported, I think.

Egwane was most arrogant in the “The Amyrlin’s Anger” chapter

Knowing Rand, how can she even think that he would have tutors who would train him to behave the way he behaved? Tuon thought the same thing, but she didn’t know Rand. Egwane’s inner monologue in this chapter was arrogant.

Verin after drinking tea

Verin had sworn to shadow. And we know that the Dark One could touch his followers even after death, unless they die by balefire.

So does that mean, in the time between Verin’s death and DO’s defeat, if He found out about Verin’s betrayal, He could have found and tortured Verin’s soul?

Irrelevance of Andor plot

The whole arc in which Elayne claims her Lion Throne seems so irrelevant to me.

Throughout the series, the nobility has been ridiculed, but when it comes to Andor, am I supposed to care about their politics?

Rand overthrew Rhavin, and freed Andor. After that the whole uniting the houses of Andor seems irrelevant, especially considering how close the last battle was. Egwane reuniting the tower, and rooting out the Black Ajah was a much more relevant and significant arc.

I couldn’t care to remember the names any Andorian Nobles besides Dylan.

Why did Jaichim Carridin disobey Foresaken

In CoS, Samael explicitly commanded Jaichim Carridin to no to go after after Matt, but after he left, Carridin commanded the woman dark friend to hunt for Matt.

Why?

Also who was the old guy outside , who told Matt that the palace belonged to Carridin? Was he no-one or someone important?

DO’s plan in Lord of Chaos

From the epilogue of LoC, it is implied that capture and rescue and Rand was all according to DO’s plans. Probably to make Rand more dark.

But it was Mesaana who had planned the capture of Rand and for him to be brought to the Tower. So did Demandred interfere in Mesaana’s plans?

Correlation amplitude with time

I am studying the correlation amplitude from Sakurai. It is the sum of the probability associated with each energy eigenvalue multiplied by its corresponding phasor. Sakurai says that for large times these phasors tend to cancel each other out, so the correlation amplitude becomes small. My understanding is that this means any state that is not an energy eigenstate tends to evolve away from its initial state with time.

However, I plotted the correlation amplitude as a function of time for an arbitrary state and an arbitrary Hamiltonian, using only the first 20 energy eigenstates. The graph seems to be periodic.

Does this mean that the state can return to its original form after some time?

Was Samael surprised?

Rand was very proud of Matt’s plan on how to attack and defeat Samael. So when he finally did attack him, was Samael caught off guard?

I wish, that the chapter in which he was killed, was told from Samael’s POV. I found it underwhelming, considering the amount of build up.
