Wow. This rung a bell for me. I wouldn't have known how to put it so concisely, but this is exactly how numbers automatically reveal themselves to me visually when I'm considering them.

If only that extended to the size estimation part of my brain. I've gotten pretty okay at eyeballing kitchen measurements, but I'm completely useless at determining what will fit in the back of my car when shopping at Home Depot without a tape measure.

Wow, did you actually hear a bell in your head??!

I've got a cursor in my head that I mentally move around and click and select things with. When I go insane, I'll probably experience somebody else moving my cursor around, instead of voices in my head.

I wonder if people used to think like typewriters, and heard a right margin bell as they thought, and then had to mentally hit carriage return every 87 characters before they could think any more...
