I have been reading about the sword logic recently and have found it really interesting. The one thing that confuses me is Mara Sov's bomb logic, I don't think it really works as an effective counter to the sword logic, it's more of an allusion to Mara's complex plans. Bomb logic implies that all of the parts are useless on their own, and therefore equal. If the parts are people interwoven in a plan (bomb) the logic falls apart as people are most definitely not equal both physically and mentally. The counter that I propose to the sword logic is a "gun logic". While some components of a gun are in fact useless on their own, gunpowder is very effective by itself. The distinction here is that the seemingly useless parts are used to channel and control the volatile gunpowder as an effective weapon. Each component contributes and becomes necessary for a different purpose. My gun logic says that some may be strong on their own, but are stronger when focused and channeled by allies.
