Perception is a vital part of how the three versions of a person or an object interact with each other. The Spiritual Realm filters through the Cognitive Realm to get to the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|1823}} While the Spiritual Realm contains the ideal version of something, the Cognitive filter makes sure the Physical version matches their perception of what should be.{{wob ref|9441}} One of the ways this manifests is in healing. For example, [[Kaladin]] feels he deserves his slave brands, so they don’t heal. [[Lopen]], on the other hand, never viewed himself as disabled, so his arm grew back.{{wob ref|9441}} The application of this can extend to changing the body of a transgender person to match their identity or rejoining Siamese twins that were separated.{{wob ref|10913}}{{wob ref|1823}}

While the Shards of Adonalsium exist primarily in the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|6304}} their immense power has notable effects on all three of the Realms. Perhaps most significantly, Realmatic interactions between a Shard and a planet are what define the structure of any Invested Arts associated with that Shard on that planet.{{wob ref|6072}} Shards can consciously make some changes to this structure,{{wob ref|5971}}{{wob ref|7307}} but the extent to which they can interfere is limited.{{wob ref|8160}} If a Shard used their power to create the planet in the first place (as [[Preservation]] and [[Ruin]] did with [[Scadrial]]), they will be able to exercise more control.{{wob ref|5293}}
