I don't think that as words. I'm just aware of the facts simultaneously. It's rather hard to type my awareness without converting it to words though.

I'm interested in this "simultaneous awareness of facts".

How simultaneous is it really? A 100% as in, the whole chain of thoughts is condensed into one "symbol"? Or simply less elements or "atoms"? Or is it equally long but just connects faster than words? Or something else entirely?

And a second question, how do you expect the inner monologue to be like? An audible hallucination? A different person talking in your head? Something else?
