I was reading this section and something popped into my head (oddly enough all my theories r created this way) Anyway, I think that Cadsuane will teach the Asha'men (is that the plural form?) that bonding to an Aes Sedai will hold off the madness. Here's where this comes from. After the breaking there were both compitant Male and Female Aes Sedai still alive. What's the first thing they would have done? Find what the hell is making the men go mad, and second how to stop it. Maybe one Aes Sedai came up with bonding and it worked, or rather slowed the madness some (this is also a good explanation of where Bonding came from). Now if bonding to an Aes Sedai slowes the madness, what would happen if the Asha'man in turn bonded the Aes Sedai in the way that Canler (the Asha'man that discovered the male version of Bonding)worked out?

1998-11-05 How much longer afterwards would you say that bonding was 'invented'(very original idea btw)? We know that Ishamael has been out and about yet he says that the Aes Sedai of this Age discovered it?(I admit it is possible that he just didn't know about it until he organized the Black Ajah.)After dwelling on it for a second, bonding most likely helps to dull the effects for a while but I don't think it is a solution.
