He was seen with three women standing over him in mourning, but his "corpse" dissolved into leafs when Egwene touched it.
Or  something in that direction.

WHAAAA, why didn't I open this thread before?! 

The ironic would be that the process has actual historical basis for being evil.

Indeed.

There could be a few problems beside the one you just mentioned.
Humanity was changed a lot during the ascension ( there were shorter years, a colder climate,  they received the abbillity to breathe ash 24/7/, there was different light, a completely different nutrition etc.); we can't be sure that a human after being reverted back to the original version would be still be able to withstand being given a spike.

*The Kandra prophecies.  Were these things the Lord Ruler told them upon creating them?  Or did they find the future another way?

They might have learned it the same way their ancestors did.
Is it ever said how old the Terris prophecies were when they found the chosen one?

IMHO, it's the other way round.
Supernatural influence is suppressing his natural reaction to battle.
The visions are changing him to think outside the eternal rat-race thinking of his culture.

Does that make Hoid the one?

Oh you... 
Shadesmar is the "root"/basic level of existence and "reality" is the pretty user interface. 
Gods manipulate it by wanting this and this to happen, while humans have to either operate with foreign energy.

I dont know if we can just assume that the shards meld together, maybe the two shards are not corresponding pieces, and dont mix easily, and maybe the shards dont even meld together, Hoid wasnt even sure when he was talking about the man being pieced together from differing parts.  so I think it is still a little early to be considering frankenshard

Two shards in one entity to be precise.
When (not if) we see Saze again, the new being will almost certainly refer to itself as one.
Yes, Cultivation is female, but I wanted to hear your ideas nevertheless.
_{I could point out that the Terris prophecies were gender-neutral because Sazed was not a man, but I'll restrain myself.}

The cosmere is like The Matrix with the moving black beads taking the place of flowing lines of green code then...
