Cognitive illusions are formally a category of Optical Illusions.

Free will as a cognitive illusion is mentioned here.

I haven't found time and probability directly mentioned as cognitive illusions.

Determinism is called an illusion here.

Certainty is called an illusion here.

I think to call the above illusions is equivalent to cognitive illusions because they describe similar mental processes and patterns.
