Ok Sorry, I have OCD and limited time so please forgive me for not reading your entire post.
I simply want to say that I think Rand, being who he is, will come up with something (I don't know what) completely different than what has been done before. Whatever it is I think he may fix things in such away that the DO will never be a problem again, thereby changing the way the wheel turns forever after.
I have had a thought that if the DO were to win then perhaps things wouldn't be that different except time would flow linearly instead of circuitously. IE: no more rebirth, each person gets one trip on the wheel and then Bye bye. But that's just a random thought and I doubt we'll see that come to pass.
Another random thought had occurred to me at one point that the DO may have been some sort of alter ego of the creator and that he would only bring about linear time and that he wasn't really evil, just opposed to the whole 'round and round' bit. This has been shot down rather soundly.
However this thing ends I'm hoping that we'll all have several "WTF" moments and be well surprised. I also hope Rand ends up alive and still a pretty, red-haired boy. LOL

As fun as it is to speculate, I don't think any of us is going to come up with the right answer to this question. I think Jordan and Sanderson are all set up to WTF us many times in the last 2 books.
One thing though, if the DO wins, where will be no pattern, there will be no existence. It wouldn't disable the Wheel and then turn into linear time.

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

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

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.
