To me that sounds like “I just walk around without taking any steps.”
If you think that is strange, I can rotate 3D objects in my head but there are no images.
i can build concepts in my head, without words or images. And just put them down, ofc i fumble a bit, because i’m not perfect, but i intuitively and innately understand concepts. Just based on my experience with that particular thing, much like an LLM can spit out actual real grammar and words that make actual real sense when you ask it to.
I understand that.
Because I don’t need to tie it to a visual metaphor, a lot of complex concepts, especially math, I find quite easy.
yeah, it’s literally just an abstraction of something that you understand enough to be able to cope with that adaptation.
the ability to visualize something is really useful when you don’t fully understand it, because it gives you more leverage.
