I see it, but on a different "channel" than my main vision. It's like this old idea where there is a little humunculus in your head viewing the output of your eyes on a screen - imagine a second screen for imaginations beside it. But I don't see it spatially next to my normal vision, maybe overlaid or "somewhere else".

The resolution of the elephant is initially bad, my head doesn't bother to fill in all the details at once. But if I concentrate on a specific part, say the ear, it will fill in all the details like the hairs and the texture of the skin.

I think I could say each of the answers would be correct to me. Of course I don't see an image like I would see of a real elephant. I see black with occasional colorful noise. So does that mean I have aphantasia? On the other hand, I can "consider" the image in any detail in this part of my mind that is similar but distinct from my regular vision. Is that seeing?

I would speculate here that maybe people don't have different experiences, but they just describe the same complex thing in very different ways...
