A '''perpendicularity''' is a stable junction between the [[Physical Realm|Physical]], [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]], and [[Spiritual Realm]]s. They are used by [[worldhoppers]] such as [[Hoid]] to go from planet to planet. They are formed through the concentration of [[Investiture]]. Because of this, they are most commonly found at places where a Shard's power is focused, often in the form of a pool of liquid.
== Mechanics ==
Perpendicularities are formed at locations with a large concentration of Investiture. The concentration of Investiture brings the three realms closer together and allows travel between them.{{au ref|drominad}} The proximity of the realms also makes [[Soulcasting]] easier.{{book ref|sa3|120}} They occur naturally when a [[Shard]] spends lots of time on a world.{{wob ref|3504}} Generally, leaving a planet would cause the Shard's perpendicularity to disappear. As a result, their presence is often used to indicate the presence of a Shard. Special circumstances, however, can prevent the perpendicularity from disappearing, and there is at least one Shard that fits these circumstances.{{wob ref|2570}}{{wob ref|4740}}
== Known Perpendicularities ==
: First of the Sun is notable for being a minor shardworld with a perpendicularity.{{au ref|drominad}} It is, presumably, [[Patji's Eye]].
; Roshar
: [[Honor's Perpendicularity]] moves with the [[highstorm]] which is what recharges stormlight. A pool in the [[Horneater Peaks]] is confirmed to be Cultivation's Perpendicularity by [[Vivenna|Azure]] when she, [[Shallan]], [[Adolin]], and [[Kaladin]] get trapped in [[Shadesmar]]. Azure also mentions an unstable perpendicularity that is very dangerous (Possibly Honor's). [[Dalinar]] brings Honor's Perpendicularity to him when he denies Odium and unites the Realms, charging nearby spheres with Investiture from the Spiritual Realm. [[Transportation]] temporarily creates a miniature perpendicularity.{{wob ref|1525}}
