    It’s a really poorly communicated image. Less detailed visualization isn’t literally a washed out version of the thing, it’s more that the details only exist if you’re actively thinking about them, rather than your brain subconsciously imagining all the details immediately.

      Yea I don’t really “see” an apple, it’s more that I can pick out one infinitesimally portion of it at any moment. So if I think about the leaf I can construct the leaf, but not the rest, and it is constantly changing as I move to other parts of the apple.

      I wouldn’t really say I see anything, it’s more abstract than that and hard to convey.
