I was gonna say, when I imagine an apple, I don't think of it simply as an image, but a representation of the concept.
Like, if I were to actually describe the "vision", it's more like a 2 or a 3, but the *concept* in the mind is a 1. I'm aware of all the detail conceptually even if the actual holistic visual image doesn't include it.
Like, moments of imagining the apple would be glimpses of its detail, but "zooming out" wouldn't include that detail, because now you're forest not trees.
