;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 on the Physical Realm glow in the Cognitive. 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.
 
;Non-Investiture-based illumination: Though only witnessed on Scadrial, it is possible that each planet has a form of communication or writing that is undetectable in the Cognitive Realm. This, on Scadrial, is done by writing on metal. However, every planet seems to have a form of writing connected to the magic system of the world. On [[Nalthis]], there exists an artisan's script, with letters being represented by color. On [[Sel]], specifically in [[Elantris]], [[Raoden]] locates some books written using Aonic script. On Roshar, it seems to be glyphs, symmetric words in interesting configurations, which, due to natural cymatics in the planet's geography and other instances, indicates symmetry could be the version of communication unreadable to Shards. Though unconfirmed, this idea has merit.
 
;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 differ in each region.
