I think you're the kind of person who has an internal voice talking in their head, and can't imagine any other kind of thought?

Math is all about abstract shapes and properties, for me. So is much of programming.

Yeah, just chiming in to say the same. Essentially all of my thinking is geometric in nature. The only time I have any internal monologue is as a mnemonic device to remember a sequence.

Yeah, I suppose you're right and I'd love to understand more. Do you imagine a modality of programming a computer in an abstract (pictorial? diagrammatic?) way that fully bypasses the current need to form statements?
