This has nothing to do with visualization; congenitally blind people can learn the mathematics of sinusoids and trajectories just fine. The only reason humans use visualization is because vision is our primary sense, so we try to cast everything as visualizations. A congenitally blind race with hearing as their primary sense would automatically put everything in terms of sound, pitch, volume and frequency mixtures, or touch and vibration. Intelligence is more versatile than you imagine. | |
