Are your math visualizations in color?
Mine are all black-and-white, presumably in imitation of diagrams in textbooks. Just realized from this @St_Rev tweet that I may be missing an important tool.

Mine are spatial but mostly not actually visual. So probably more kinesthetic than properly visual. (I have more thoughts about the original point but I haven't decided how to express them usefully yet.)

Yes, this mathematical sense that is vague-ish shapes that aren't quite visual and aren't quite kinesthetic but sort of both is extremely interesting.

Hey, as someone who is acquainted with these vagueish kinda kinaesthetic kinda-images and (I assume) with yidam visualization: how do the former compare with the kind of visual horsepower that is needed for the latter? Is it even the same kind of animal?

Interesting question! Different traditions put different amounts of emphasis on the clarity and intensity of yidam visualization. The Aro gTér less than most, which is good for me because on a scale of 0 to 100 my ability is maybe ~50.

I think they are roughly the same kind of thing, although there’s aspects to yidam that aren’t there in math. But I might also just be doing it wrong
