unvisualizable

Beyond mental imagery

Unvisualizable describes something that cannot be pictured in the mind or represented visually.

The term applies to abstract concepts, mathematical objects in higher dimensions, or phenomena beyond human perceptual capacity: The tesseract is unvisualizable to beings who experience only three spatial dimensions.

Quantum mechanics deals with many unvisualizable processes.
