== Appearance ==
Space on the Cognitive Realm is heavily distorted such that areas that have little to no Cognitive presence are diminished significantly.{{book ref|sa4|22}}{{book ref|sa4|47}} This means that the vast empty space between planets in the Physical Realm does not exist in the Cognitive Realm. Different worlds sit right next to each other in this Realm, with oceans acting as the borders between worlds. This makes [[worldhopping]] in the Cognitive Realm much easier than in the Physical Realm.
The few regions in the Cognitive Realm revealed so far have shown major differences in composition and appearance, but there are shared characteristics. It is not known how common these characteristics are on other regions yet unseen. The Cognitive Realm looks different on every planet, with its traits partially influenced by perception.{{wob ref|11688}} If the landscape in the Physical Realm changes (such as a body of water getting filled in with dirt), the area's Cognitive counterpart will change to reflect this, but there will be a delay before the Cognitive Realm changes.{{wob ref|12569}}

There appears to be a sun in the Cognitive Realm's sky, but it has consistently been described as being smaller than what each character seeing it is familiar with. The sun disappears in the space between worlds. Shadows in the Cognitive Realm have been witnessed as drawing towards light sources instead of away from them, though the exact reason for this is unknown.{{book ref|sa4|22}}
