Comment on Is math big or small?parent

Right, I immediately saw a torus - it was light blue (that's trivial to change, but I can't have no colour if it's visual) - but it could have been the size of a bacterium or the size of a galaxy. Without any context or application, the size is undefined.

When you've mentioned that, I've noticed that by default I imagine just a shape devoid of color and texture. But I can imagine a donut, or a blue torus, but I need to explicitly think the word "blue".
