When I read LOTR as a kid, I couldn't stand the scene descriptions that ran for multiple pages. Drove me mad, didn't understand what it was there for. Many years later I discovered I have aphantasia, no wonder I hated it.

i was just watching a video about a woman who also has aphantasia! You’re unable to visualize a scene right? I have the opposite i think: i have visual hallucinations ever since age 18

I don't see detailed images in my head, at best I get a blurry flash. But I can still visualize in a different way... I "know" what's supposed to be in the scene, and relationship of objects to other objects. Kinda like this, except I don't see it, I sense it...

Some of them claim they can rotate objects and change colors. There's also those who claim they see movies. I don't know why they want to convince me of something so absurd 🙄

Pretty much impossible for me to comprehend! Is this the project you were referring to, and that's you explaining it? If so, it's done really well and is very intriguing... Hope you figure out where you want to go with it!
