| All things exist in three Realms, Gaotona. '''Physical''', '''Cognitive''', '''Spiritual'''. The Physical is what we feel, what is before us. The Cognitive is how an object is viewed and how it views itself. The Spiritual Realm contains an object’s soul— its essence— as well as the ways it is connected to the things and people around it.

The '''Cognitive Realm''' is the world of thought and perception. It is also referred to by the name '''[[Shadesmar]]''', particularly on [[Roshar]].{{17s ref|post|66703|Shadesmar is just a rough translation of "Cognitive Realm" in the language of whoever first found out about it.|date=2013-10-05}} The nature and appearance of objects in this realm are shaped by the views of people and even the objects themselves. The environment itself changes from one world to the next, often exhibiting features characteristic of that world. Investiture, including that within souls, glows visibly within the Cognitive Realm.
While time appears to flow normally, space is also warped by perception. The realm exists as a flat plane and the distance between worlds is significantly contracted, so that travelling from one world to the next by foot is possible. Indeed, [[Worldhopping|Worldhoppers]] generally make use of this realm to move between worlds. Travelling between the Physical and the Cognitive Realms may be accomplished at [[Perpendicularity|Perpendicularities]].
