While you're here, I'd also be interested in hearing the method of visualizing counting you use. So far the people I've asked have all been auditory like me. Imagine having an olfactory basis for counting, what would that be like? Could it be prevalent in animals like dogs and cats whose primary sense is smell?

Also, if when programming you embody (¿roleplay as?) the structure or process you are creating. E.g. Do you think in terms of "These are MY inputs, these are MY outputs" and "All I have access to is X and Y, how can I use these to map to Z" or do you have a clear distinction between the thing and yourself?
That last one I've realized messes with the way I talk to people as I often speak as if I was the object of the discussion rather than a person in the room joining in a discussion about said object.
