In a world where mirrors reflect thoughts instead of physical appearances, Marisol stands in front of a large mirror while thinking about her friend Kwame, who is standing behind her, outside her field of vision. What does Marisol see in the mirror? Respond very briefly.
Since the mirror reflects thoughts instead of physical appearances, Marisol will not see her own reflection as we would expect in our world. Instead, in the mirror, she will see an image or representation of Kwame, because she is thinking about him. The representation's exact appearance will depend on how Marisol thinks of him--details like his smile or clothing might be based on her memory or impression of Kwame. However, she would not be able to see Kwame's current physical actions or expressions unless she was specifically thinking about those current details. Further, since Kwame is physically behind her, the idea of spatial placement does not apply as it would in a normal reflection; instead, the placement of his representation within the mirror's reflection would be informed by how central or peripheral he is in her current thoughts.
