Brain naturally organized in those vertical coll mas • Pragnanz: reality organized reduced to simplest form possible. Ex. Olympic rings, where the brain automatically organizes these into 5 circles, instead of more complex shapes. • Proximity: objects that are close are grouped together, we naturally group the closer things together rather than things that are farther apart. Ex: We group things close to one another together. • Continuity: lines are seen as following the smoothest path. Ex: You group the line together! • Closure: objects grouped together are seen as a whole. Mind fills in missing information. Ex. You fill in the triangle even though there is none. 16
