|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.

The inspiration for Realmatic Theory comes from a number of real-world philosophies. Those philosophies include
Realmatic Theory was first used in ''[[Dragonsteel]]'', Brandon’s second book set in the cosmere.{{wob ref|14028}} The opening chapters include someone learning about the three Realms in a classroom.{{wob ref|11996}} As Brandon wrote more cosmere books, he noticed patterns in the themes. He began to create a common energy source for the magic systems to use. Linking the books and creating the cosmere grew naturally from those themes and connections.{{wob ref|14028}} Within the currently published cosmere, the term Realmatic Theory has only been used once, by the [[Ire]].{{msh ref|5|2}} Khriss has used the phrase "Realmatic Transition" in the ''[[Words of Radiance]]'' [[Ars Arcanum]] to describe the [[Surge]] of [[Surge#Transportation|Transportation]].{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} She also used the phrase "Realmic transition" once in the essay on the [[Taldain system]] to describe how [[sand mastery]] works.{{au ref|taldain}} The difference, if any, between these two terms is as yet unknown.
