Your ability to rotate in place is redundant. Your vestibular apparatus is located in your ears, which don’t exist in this space, meaning that you are wholly incapable of proprioception.
Hence, the only input you’re getting is the colour white. However, since you have nothing to compare it to, I would expect that any and all circuits designed for perceiving lines, edges, shapes and other colours would fail to develop. The same goes for circuits related to sensory input that is non-visual.
Connections between neurons that go unused are pruned, and it seems that all connections that originate and terminate in the brain go unused in this thought experiment. My guess would be that you would end up with a brain full of disconnected neurons, though I’d hesitate to even call that a brain.
Interesting thought experiment.
