Relationship Between The Hall and The Amyrlin Seat
Ideally, the Hall and the Amyrlin Seat would work together for the good of the White Tower. However, in practice, there is often a power struggle between the Hall and the Amyrlin. Indeed, an Amyrlin's strength is usually measured by her ability to manage the Hall to achieve the results she wants. The Amyrlin can not actually break Tower law as enacted by the Hall, but has the power to make decrees on any subject not explicitly covered by existing laws. By the same token, the Hall can not actually revoke an Amyrlin's decrees or executive acts, but can, by constant inquiry into her conduct of affairs and opposition to her proposals, make her job exceedingly difficult.

“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“In New York, pretending to be above the struggle means no seat on the bus and a table next to the kitchen.”
