But actually it feels more something like:

class Apple {       
  public:             
    string color;  
    string shape;
    string taste;
    string recipes[];
};

I know what an apple is, I know stuff about it and what properties it has, but it produces no picture (nor code btw...) in my head.

Your recipes are a local string!? Are you storing duplicate recipes for apple pie in your Apple class and your sugar, flour, butter, salt, water, cinnamon, and lemon classes?

Same here. I know what things should look like and everything but theres no actual picture there, just an abstract concept.

We appear to be many. Perhaps some of us should revive the !aphantasia@lemmy.world community at some point?

5 here. I explain it to people as a relational database.

This is everything I haven't seen before. If I am running a table top game like D&D my monsters are literally a list of traits and regurgitated descriptions with no visual details in my own mind. This works out pretty well somehow.
