In [[Realmatic Theory]], the '''Cognitive Realm''' is the realm between the [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] and the [[Physical Realm|Physical]]. It is described as the world of the mind{{msh ref|2|1}} Because even non-living things can have a Cognitive aspect in the [[cosmere]], it is possible to communicate with or at least listen to non-living things while in the Cognitive Realm.
Space on the Cognitive Realm is heavily distorted such that
Some beings like [[Soulcaster]]s and [[Shard]]s can have their consciousness or even their whole body appear on the Cognitive Realm using their Invested ability. It is also possible to use [[Perpendicularity|Perpendicularities]] to move to and from the Cognitive Realm.

;Investiture-based illumination: All [[Invest]]ed Physical objects glow in the Cognitive Realm. Since life itself appears to be a form of Investiture, living things glow as well. Certain objects might also glow even though they are not Invested, as in the case of metal in [[Scadrial]], though why this is so has not yet been revealed.
;Plants on Cognitive land: Some areas in the Cognitive land (which is water on the Physical Realm) appear to have plants or plant-shaped objects on them, the type of which differe in each region.
It is unknown how common those characteristics are on the Cognitive Realm of other cosmere worlds.
