"Now . . . I don't think there's a fan watching who doesn't assume the TARDIS is going to appear underneath and catch her. But what if she doesn't actually know that when she jumps in the way she knows he'll show up in ToA because she's sent her message ahead of time? Could she, in fact, throw herself off a building in the presumption that the Doctor will show up to catch her so that, once she's safe, she can send a message back to him with coordinates?"
That is utterly fascinating! It sounds like something out of the philosophy class I took seven years ago. If that doesn't end up in the show at some point, you just NEED to write a fanfic where she does something like that. Because that's brilliant. And that level of mind-fuckery of all the rules we consider basic and take for granted is what I love about these two characters and how they interact.
(Also, thrills me to no end that my pirate story was mentioned in this post. Thanks for that. :))
