This is a technique for people who can actually visualize. You can think of it as a constant remixing of your own visualization to: 1. stabilize it, and 2. turn the remix into a completely new visual unit of its own.

If you are a visualizer, you are probably familiar with these two concepts:

1. Default Visualization: This is basically your ongoing, baseline visualization. When you close your eyes and try to get your visualization running, it plays like a movie reel. Often, you don't know what will happen next since the visualization runs by itself. You can give your brain an instruction like, "A is going into the house," but the scenes decide for themselves, and the vividness is often generic or matched to your default level.
2. Conscious Visualization Recall/Construction: This is when you forcefully try to conjure an image. The definition is much higher than in default visualization, but it tends to be more object-oriented than scene-like.

The thing is, people often use conscious visualization recall to try and improve their visualization (even those aphantasics). What they usually end up with is just their default level of vividness, which offers no real improvement.

What my method suggests is that you basically let your default visualization run the entire time, but constantly interrupt it with sudden flashes of very high-definition images of your choice for about 1 to 2 seconds (essentially constructing a super-vivid image in the blink of an eye). Here're the details.

1. You take out a note and list 10 characters or objects you want to include in the visualization session.
2. You close your eyes and let your default visualization run.
3. You frequently interrupt the background visualization with the characters/objects within the list doing something in very high definition (can be around 1-10 seconds), and you have to change characters/objects frequently.
4. Every so often, you open your eyes to take in the visual around the room (as this will actually take in new visuals instead of just rehearsing the old ones).

I'm Alapv. I'm aphantasic -> hyperphantasic. If you've known me long enough and are experienced enough with visualization, this is basically a progressive overload quick trick to improve visualization. If you are a hater, skip this. I don't reply to baseless cynicism or people trying to figure things out. I'm not a professional scientist don't ask me to provide proof.

1. New aphantasia understanding.
2. Ever wonder why despite dogs have been living with us for thousands of years, they never develop our linguistic fluency or tools usage? Or why psychopaths are incapable of sympathizing with others? That's right. Lack of nervous system required for those specific functions (and can't develop the functions). Same for aphantasics, we lack the brain part responsible for storing images and therefore recalling these images for visualization. To be more precise, we do store images but oftens times as words or concepts instead of the literal images themselves. Here's what it looks like:

2. So what we do?
   We pivot to another universal human learning mechanism which is "thoughts creation" and "holding as much information as possible". There's a human benchmark test that's perfect to demonstrate what circumventing visualization looks like: https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/chimp

Basically there're a lot of close eyes and imagining the invisible links between the numbers. You can get creative as long as you are accurate and are able to progress to the next level. The same thing for visualization: you take a good look at the image and assume a bunch of bullshit about the image, might it be concept, verbal as long as you get close to the spatial/weighty feel of image then you are getting very close to actual visualization. It kinda looks like this

Yes \"random bullshit go\"

3. Please remember this: You cannot store images, it's physically impossible.
   You cannot look at colors, flat images, and videos and remember them. Aphantasics physically lack a visual storer, they cannot develop their visual library the same way dogs cannot develop a language speaking capability. The only thing you can do is "live image analysis," basically choosing an image you like and analyze it, cycling your thoughts at an inhuman level. I promise it will produce actual visualization given that your intensity is good enough. Basically "natural phantasics' visualization is about storing and recalling image, man-made phantasics' visualization is literally making everything from scratch"

4. Food
   This one is important because I find choline to have direct impact on my thoughts creating capability. You can either buy supplements or eat 3 eggs 30 mins before practice.

Either takes more than 1 min for a simple answer or keep giving internal errors for anything longer than 100k. I tried to with other accounts and the normal 3.1 only takes about 25 seconds average.
