 With these clarifications in place, we will consider the strengths and weaknesses of  RES-1.  Suppose that Lisa is seeing a yellow banana. At the present moment, there is no yellow banana in my own surroundings; thus, I cannot have that (type of) visual experience. Still, I can visualize what Lisa is seeing. Intuitively, my visual imagery of a yellow banana is a mental simulation of Lisa’s visual experience.  RES-1  captures this, given that both my visual imagery and Lisa’s visual experience are mental states and the former resembles the latter.
