Yes, but it's possible to perceive distict objects without vision, except the separation is in time, rather than space. Or, depends on the number of sense organs available (e.g. a blind person can sense two different objects simultaneously by holding one in each hand).

Agreed, I wonder if the same amount of abstract concept would be possible though, can you feel a graph? could you do trigonometry with just hearing and sense of touch?

"could you do trigonometry with just hearing and sense of touch?"

Can you get data on this from a Monte Carlo method of study on match play between sighted and blind players playing go and chess at distance and blind which requires a mental model of the board state and translations?
