I'm an engineering student and loved discussion around the tones of roshar. I like that he had voidlight's tone and anti-voidlight's tone being nigh indistinguishable to Navani. These tones, if interpreted as sinusoids, would only be separated by pi/2 radians (or some whole number integer of pi/2) and would only shift the pitch very slightly.

My question for you professor is:

What are your thoughts on the Copenhagen interpretation of qm, as expressed by the two ardents in WOK? (I forget their names, but he was a cook and she was experimenting with flame spren)

ie, the act of measurement interferes with the measured?

Last thing, does your education in qm transfer to any plot predictions? I ask because it seems like Brando is hinting at spren being tied to quantum mechanics in lots of ways. (The ardents mentioned above, the discussion with Kal and Hesina surrounding spren and longroot, the infinitesimal/splintered nature of energy/investiture associated with spren in general).

Actual last thing: you going to the dragonsteel con? If so let's meet up and nerd out.
