    when asked to imagine a circle, I just imagine the concept of a circle. It has no color, no texture, no substance.

    Huh.

    Is the association with the word circle? Like, what does the concept of a circle involve?

      The infinite sharpness of its edge, the rigid but smooth change of direction as you move along it. The feeling you get when you see a circle. The concept of rolling.

      … but primarily just circle-ness.
