Reminder of the ribbon issue - I worry that we may have made the whole Caretaker bond and initiation thing too convoluted/complex compared to what we know in canon, and may have contradicted canon as a result.

We haven't addressed the Ribbon, which we've seen used 3 times: once to try and transfer the connection from Mrs. F to Claudia in "Buried", which seemed like a pretty quick and simple process; once wrapped around John Logie Baird's Scanning Disk in an attempt to transfer its disconnecting properties through the Farnsworth (even though it wasn't wrapped around part of the Warehouse...); and once wrapped around a random part of the Warehouse and Mrs. F's wrist to disconnect her.

On top of that, Warehouse 2 was shown to have some kind of... power source thing, a big ball of light like a star in the middle of the ground floor, and that was said to be what was keeping WH2 online (or something, I can't remember the specifics). AND WH2, which if I remember right was around before we wrote when the Tree was ccollected/connected, tried to connect to Mrs. F - meaning the bond between the Caretaker and Warehouse existed since at least WH2, before WH3, and without the tree (and it still irks me that we don't see the mini-star in WH13 anywhere...).
