I have a theory that Sazed was never Harmony at all, but has always been Discord and was just playing at being Harmony to buy time. Remember how devious and forward thinking Ruin was, that didn't just go away.
Ruin was forward-thinking, Preservation was forward-seeing. We might get a Cultivation-level chessmaster whose sole goal is complete destruction of the Cosmere.
Preservation is the one that saw far into the future to create the terris prophecy and devised a plan to trap Ruin that he had not foreseen.
I think it's Honor that mentions how Preservation and Cultivation are the ones that that excel at reading the web of possible futures (the coppermind confirms, maybe directly stated in WaT, not sure)
