    How do you even know you can visualise things? Like, I think I can imagine an apple rotating, but it’s not like you actually see it the way you’d see an actual apple in front of your eyes, right?

      That highly depends on your specific definition of that. But personally I can do things like think of a place I’ve been, and basically walk around like I’m controlling a video game character. “Seeing” the place as if I was there.

      No, but you should be able to imagine the relative change in the angles and orientation of points on the apple - like, if you carved your name on it, you could imagine rotating it so only part of your name is visible and the remaining letters start to skew
