{{theory}}
Worldhopping is possible in several ways: the first is to travel via space (since all the Cosmere is in a dwarf galaxy) using technology or some form of Investiture, such as AonDor (as it is used at the end of the novel Elantris to travel instantaneously). The other is to travel
Only one magic system, [[Surgebinding]], has been confirmed to allow access to the Cognitive Realm. However, all Shardworlds have their own ways of reaching it.{{wob ref|7666}} Since Galladon and Demoux are somehow able to worldhop, it is likely that [[AonDor]] and [[Allomancy]] or one of the other [[Metallic Arts]] allows access to the Cognitive Realm. This is further confirmed by the fact that someone from [[Scadrial]] accessing [[Shadesmar]] is a plot point for a future book.{{wob ref|7265}} Additionally, someone associated with [[House Venture]] is known to have been operating a mercantile through the [[Pits of Hathsin]] before [[Kelsier]] destroyed it.{{msh ref|2|1}}{{wob ref|1514}}
At some point in Sel's distant past, [[Odium]] killed the [[Vessel]]s of both Devotion and Dominion and Splintered the two Shards.{{article ref|The Letter}} The collective power of the Splintered Shards became somehow trapped in the [[Cognitive Realm]], and is now what Selish people call the [[Dor]].{{
There is a hidden economy of sorts that has grown around worldhopping. For instance, there is a caravan between Nalthis and Roshar that was used by [[Vasher]] and [[Vivenna]].{{wob ref|11992}} This interplanetary trade network also includes a version of a postal service.{{wob ref|12626}}
