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.

I think I'm the same way. Like if I imagine an ornate doorknob from an old temple I can see it in a general view, and I can focus on the details one little bit at a time, but I can't picture the entire thing at once with detail. It's also not like I'm seeing it, it's fluid and honestly somewhat difficult to focus on.
