Here is my theory: areas develop their own spiritwebs! Explanation: when there is life on a planet, people form Connections to each other across the planet, forming a “web” in the Spiritual Realm. Each planet would have its own “Spiritual web,”(or Spiritweb) which would be somewhat isolated from other planets, and even more isolated from other Systems. This also probably applies to countries (and maybe even more localized areas such as towns and cities) in the Cosmere, but to a lesser extent; as there is a lot more travel across a planet. However, because the majority of people living in an area don’t travel outside of the area, the area would probably have its own somewhat distinct “Spirit web.” This can probably explain why entities like spren are unable to leave their system, why Investiture is Localized, almost by country, and why each planet has an influence upon the magic, as Brandon has stated,(can’t find the WoB right now, though.) why planets have different looking Cognitive Realms, and probably a couple other things, too. Feel free to poke holes in this theory. Maybe we could poke enough holes in it that it would look like a “web!”
