I’m a reader who’s relatively willing to cooperate with the writer—unless I’m sure the writer is speaking nonsense about facts, I’ll go with “what might that mean”? When Lovecraft talks about unspeakable horrors, I’ll reflexively try to create a (toned down) reaction of unspeakable horror rather than thinking “if you aren’t going to describe it, why should I bother scaring myself when you aren’t giving me anything to work with?”.
I was just saying that for me, at least, color is not the only qualia (?) that has an unparalleled vividness, I also have this impression from depth/vastness/enclosedness/… and from stillness/continuing movement/..., and it doesn’t have to be activated through vision.
Yes, though I’m not sure why that’s important.
