My mental mindscape has everything. Narrator, mind's eye, high-level concepts conceptually connected like a mesh, everything. My mindscape is a chaotic ocean of sensory inputs, memories, raw emotions, and high-level concepts. I'm always a bit surprised when someone is missing a part.
When someone says "apple," I think about the color red, the tartness of the skin, the sweetness and sourness of an apple, the sound of the crunch, oranges-as-a-concept-not-as-a-visual (from apples and oranges), Isaac Newton, apple pie, the pixelated apple tree from Stardew Valley because I don't have good visual memory of apple trees in real life, that time I drank apple cider during Thanksgiving after eating apple pie, how "an apple" used to be "a napple" before the "n" shifted away from the word, how I don't pronounce the "l" in apple, but treat it like a vowel so "apple" sounds like "apo."
