I’ve looked it up, but for some reason I just can’t seem to grasp the concept.

I can’t tell if you’re trying to make a joke or not lol.

When you want to think of a situation for example. You don’t go “John walked into the store” inside of your head. Instead, your brain pictures John and the store, and then it pictures John walking to the store. Basically your ability to represent ideas in your head without using words.

It’s basically an artificial label given to the abstract way we conceptualise things as if it were a language of sorts. “Language of the mind,” as it were.
