Think about Dreaming. "seeing" during a dream state works by experiencing pure data representation of the real world. People fluent in lucid dreaming can tell you something funny happens when you try to thorough examine objects while sleeping. Constructed worlds tend to be skin deep, and fall apart when poked. Everything is build with ideas drawn from your experience.

Its Plato's Allegory of the Cave all the way down.

Imagine "watching" a movie compressed using your very own prior knowledge. Every scene could be described in couple of hundred lines of plaintext. Today we do this by reading a book :) What if we could build an algorithm able to render movies from books?
