Perhaps it would be better to list out everything we know?

CANON
 * Ribbon to Transfer Power
 * Try and transfer the connection from Mrs. F to Claudia in "Buried", which seemed like a pretty quick and simple process
 * 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...)
 * 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.

OUR CANON
 * Caretaker's bond began with the Tree of Idun after it was transferred to Warehouse 3.
 * The bond with the Tree is what allows Caretakers to exist for centuries (naturally).

I'm not sure if I'm missing anything in the above. That being said, we are missing a few connections:


 * Where did the Ribbon originate from?
 * Is the Ribbon at all related to the Tree of Idun, or does it date before? And why, if before, does it seem to have a specific connection to the Warehouse (i.e. Was it formed/created by the Warehouse, or is it an artifact whose effects simply happen to coincide the transference of power?)
 * What type of connection did Caretakers have to the Warehouse before the Tree was found?
 * Did Alexander the Great form a bond with the original Warehouse? Or did something collected for Warehouse 2 begin the formation of the bond?
 * Since there is a clear connection between Warehouse 2 and Warehouse 13's current Caretaker, did that result in the longevity of each Caretaker, or were they limited by the average lifespan (or could only live up to, say, 100, as opposed to the centuries that the Tree provided)?
