In the case of the deaf blind person, and this is an aside, I don't believe we're born a blank slate in this regard even if the physical eyes don't see. Helen Keller described actively in what I would call eye consciousness. Closed eye visual space/dream space. I'm sure there's variance here depending on the nature of a person's disability. I.e. neurology vs physiology.

I'm interested in the link and will read it. I'm only an amateur when it comes to coding and a layperson with AI.

And yeah, I don't think it's something we can put in a box. The map isn't the territory and at some point describing consciencness from within using concepts (thinking, with language or otherwise) turns into a dog chasing its own tail. Thanks for the reminder not to bite myself in the chasing (your comment earlier about subtle forms of self aggression).
