Oh definitely! Eventually you've spent so much time that the thetas and lambdas and Lorentzes and whatever become your close intimate friends. I've most recently experienced this with learning piano and how an ocean of white and black keys all developed these individual "identities." Like, "ah yes, <looks at A4> I won't forget you. We've had so many dramatic moments before, and remember that time I kept showing up at your neighbour's house instead?" ...Okay maybe I'm just weird.
