so if I say cube, you don't immediately see it (not even if you close your eyes) and can't then turn said cube in all 3 axis visually in your headspace?
If it's a completely grey cube, I can sort of imagine it, but it's like I can't smoothly rotate it or visualize things like lighting or shades of grey. It's sort of like just seeing it jump from one angle to the next with a lot of the angles just not "showing up" in my mind, and they aren't really connected images. I couldn't visualize movements on a Rubik's cube, but that's not the same as not being able to run the algorithm and solve it with my hands. For clarity, I don't know the algorithm to solve one, but I mean the colors aren't something I can really imagine on the cube. Like I said, I don't have complete aphantasia, so this is solely my experience. I don't know if that's just me or purely the aphantasia.
fascinating. thx for sharing!
You're welcome! It's not something I really think about often as it really doesn't affect my day to day life in a meaningful way, but I'm happy to help clarify it a bit for others! I was extremely confused when I found out people can just fully imagine an apple or something with loads of detail. Haha.
