'''Realmatic Theory''' refers to the structure of the [[Cosmere]]. There are three Realms: Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual.

| I have come to see that each power has three aspects: a '''physical''' one, which can be seen in the creations made by [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]]; a '''spiritual''' one in the unseen energy that permeates all of the world; and a '''cognitive''' one in the minds which controlled that energy.▼

| Giving water to the tiny plant causes a chain reaction of sudden growth, energy, and Realmic transition. Certain people can control this reaction, using the water from their own bodies to forge a brief cognitive bond. They can draw Investiture (in very small amounts) directly from the Spiritual Realm, and use that to control the sand.▼

| 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.▼

| All things exist in three realms, Dalinar. The '''Physical''': what you are now. The '''Cognitive''': what you see yourself as being. The '''Spiritual''': the perfect you, the person beyond pain, and error, and uncertainty.▼

:''Main article:'' [[Cognitive Realm]]
The '''Cognitive Realm''' is the world of thought and perception.{{msh ref|2|1}} It is also referred to as the subastral, and is known locally on [[Roshar]] as '''[[Shadesmar]]''', though at least some academics of [[Silverlight]] have taken to using the term to refer to the entire Realm.{{wob ref|3010}} 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.{{wob ref|11688}} [[Investiture]], including that within souls, glows visibly within the Cognitive Realm.
While time appears to flow normally, space is also warped by perception.{{wob ref|8677}} Some aspect of the nature of the Realm allows one to walk to space, 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]].
Most of the power that makes up the [[Shard]]s exists in the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|6304}}

* The Realms predate the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]] and are part of the fundamental physics of the cosmere. They would have been created at the cosmere's equivalent of the Big Bang.{{wob ref|13066}}
