i mean you can just remember the words “keys are on the kitchen table”, it’s not exactly rocket science.

But personally i have a sort of pseudo-visualization, best comparison i’ve come up with is like a computer without a monitor: the information is there but it’s just not properly presented visually. It also kinda uses the sense of knowing where your limbs are (proprioception), so i sorta “feel” things in my mental projection and just know what colours and stuff they should have.

A wireframe view like this should very very broadly get the idea across, i don’t literally see this but it’s closer than regular visualization:
