I'm so turned off by this cognitive shit. I imagine it's not easy to translate too.

 

[Akikako]

So monsters exist because science, b*tch!
PS: White tiger wife is waifu.

Ah... yes! Hit me with that SCP terminology!

 

[Ishigan]

Oh no, it's turning into 'Tokyo ghoul 2'

@Zhou you're not wrong, it's amazing annoying to redraw too; with all the tones and filters

The best comparison I can think of is that it's kinda like the Warp and Chaos in Warhammer Fantasy/Warhammer 40,000. (I know they're based on Jungian Psychology-such as the collective unconsciousness-but roll with me here.)

The idea is that people passive alter reality based on what they believe and what they can do, but for regular people this effect is so small and negligible that it's impossible for anyone to just will something to happen, but when enough people begin to believe something en masse that effect accumulates and starts to affect reality. This is accomplished as the warp is a dimension parallel to our own in which emotions and beliefs accumulate and mirror, until they become powerful enough to cross the divide. (This is how it works in Fantasy/40k)

In this series, Kemono have cells which basically do this and it allows them to do things which would otherwise be physically impossible for them because enough of them believe in it to such an extent that it effects reality.

Oversimplified: REALITY WARPING CELLS (or something like that)

 

[Alex-dono-sama]

I'm sorry but this entire time he's been wanting to use his power to help!? didn't he not know what power he had? also hasn't it only been a month since he transferred to the school? so what the hell does he mean by this entire time?

 

[Komaru]

Okay, now this is what i called a "New Tokyo Ghoul"... neat! 😲

...because enough of them believe in it to such an extent that it effects reality.

I think you're on the right track in general, but nothing so far indicates that the ability to manipulate "Cognitive Elementary Particles" is the product of collective belief (as in Warhammer 40k).

Instead, the reality warping superpowers of kemono and certain humans seem to arise from their individual perceptions & beliefs (whether conscious or not). To be more specific, each so empowered individual is able to alter ultra-local reality, primarily via the reshaping of their own body's cells.
