| All things have three components: the soul, the body, and the mind. That place you saw, Shadesmar, is what we call the Cognitive Realm—the place of the mind.

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}} As even non-living things can have a Cognitive aspect in the [[cosmere]], the Cognitive Realm is also a place where the thoughts and feelings of non-living things can be known.
=== Sel ===
On the Rosharan Shadesmar map, the Selish subastral is called the [[Expanse of the Densities]]. The Shards of [[Dominion]] and [[Devotion]] were [[Splinter]]ed and trapped in the Cognitive Realm by [[Odium]]. While the power of most other Shards resides in the [[Spiritual Realm]],{{au ref|selish}} Odium has locked the power of Dominion and Devotion in the Cognitive Realm to ensure that nobody on Sel could gain those Shards.{{wob ref|2546}} This makes the Cognitive Realm on Sel extremely dangerous as anyone who comes there unprepared would be ripped apart by the power of the Shards,{{wob ref|7212}} now collectively known as the [[Dor]]. This manifests as a large storm-like, highly pressurized form made of a substance similar to plasma.{{wob ref|8241}}
It is unknown if the area of Cognitive land where the [[Ire]] are positioned during the events of [[Mistborn: Secret History]] is in Sel, though the Ire appear to be [[Elantrian]]s who are native to Sel. The area around the Ire building has tall jagged rock formations that look like trees.{{msh ref|5|2}}
