  Also, it is clear that Egwene's trips involved information she did not bring in with her:  TITLE: Dragon Reborn CHAPTER: 00 - The Price of The Ring There was an Aes Sedai at her elbow, a woman with Sheriam's high cheekbones but dark hair and concerned brown eyes, and the hand-wide stole of the Keeper on her shoulders. Not Sheriam, though. Egwene had never seen her before; she was sure she knew her as well as she knew herself. Haltingly, she put a name to the woman. Beldeine.  It's obvious that this information came from a future mirror world through T'A'R connection to MW's.  I think you are as wedded to a Mirror World connection as I am to ter'angreals built with a single mode of operation. :D  Egwene is a Dreamer. Dreamers and Dreamwalkers can tell the future from T'A'R alone. Egwene has never knowingly or deliberately sought the interface between T'A'R and a Mirror World, but she has had Prophetic Dreams.  Nyneave's manipulation of her third pass through the ter'angreal is probably a better argument for unknown names that turn out to be real people, but even that example is far more T'A'R-like than MW-like.
