Well, the first thing that popped into my head were all those references that saidar and saidin are the combined force that turns the Wheel of Time. So they must encompass it in some way, I imagine maybe like in an intergalactic pool or something with a current that turns the Wheel?
This would mean the Bore was driven through the True Source. I don't remember right now, but doesn't the short story of the moments before the Bore was drilled show 'Meiran' thinking that they found a new source of power, beyond the One Power? Perhaps this fits if I remember that correctly. I'm typing as I think here...
Anyway, maybe it's just as simple as using the male and female halves of the True Source together to patch the hole in itself? It certainly would be a significant way to fulfill the duality theme of the series and explain why using saidin alone was a bad idea.
I'm not married to this hypothesis, just following your advice and throwing stuff out there. Good topic...

I removed the word 'the' from the sentence:
'...moments before the Bore was drilled show 'Meiran' thinking that they found a new source of power, beyond the One Power?'
because it has been incorrectly understood that I was referring to 'The Power' and I was referencing only a new source of power, not saidar/saidin. Sorry for any confusion this caused.

How can Rand repair the bore? More importantly, what forms the boundary of the Wheel itself?

Mierin thought they had found a new source of power, not of THE power.

The Aiel's insistance is not baseless. They know why they say it is evil.

You might be right, but the other idea is far more interesting. *NM*

true, but he's also be transformed in some unknown way. Not sure he really counts as human

No, the Bore was drilled through that specific thinness in the Pattern.

Maybe they can plug the Bore with garbage like British Petroleum. *NM*

I always figured Egwene and Rand would have to work together.

Maybe saidar and saidin, woven together properly, form something else?
