No, lisp printer prints actual lisp objects to strings. Which you can
even read back with lisp reader :). So it's not just "in mind", if I
understand correctly what you mean. Docs says explicitly what lisp
reader and printer refers to, nothing is left to imagination, docs are
perfectly clear in that regard.

I am not sure what do you thing with "but without the thought
process". Some people indeed avoid to use their brains, but I guess that
is not what you mean? :). Just kidding, I don't understand what you
mean there.
