- Gestalt Principles
- Gestalt principles — developed by the Berlin School (Wertheimer 1912, 1923; Köhler 1929; Koffka 1935) — are the structural rules by which perceptual systems organize discrete stimulus elements into unified wholes whose properties and meaning are not recoverable from the elements considered individually, as Wertheimer (1923) first systematically catalogued in his "Untersuchungen zur Lehre von der Gestalt II."
This sourceFoundational catalogue of grouping principles (proximity, similarity, closure, good continuation, common fate, Prägnanz) via systematic dot-array demonstrations.

- Juxtaposition
- Neighborhood
- In perception and cognition receptive fields in vision and touch are neighborhood structures — a cell responds to a patch of retina or skin — and grouping by proximity is the perceptual instantiation.
This sourceFoundational Gestalt statement of grouping by proximity — the perceptual instantiation of the neighborhood / local-context-window structure.

- Pattern Completion (Filling the Incomplete)
- It is not exactly gestalt closure (cf. #214): closure is one specific perceptual manifestation of pattern completion operating on visual contour; the broader abstraction extends to memory, audition, cognition, and machine inference beyond the perceptual-grouping case.

- Segmentation and Boundary Drawing
- The two patterns can co-occur but are structurally distinct, a distinction prefigured in Wertheimer's (1923) Gestalt principles of perceptual grouping that separate region-formation from layered figure-ground organization.

- Unity Test
- In perception it is the Gestalt grouping principles operating as the visual system's implicit unity tests.

Domain-specific¶
Mechanisms¶
- Good-Continuation Routing
- Good-Continuation Routing lays down one continuous visual line — through collinear alignment, smooth curvature, and a steady heading — so that the eye, obeying the Gestalt law of good continuation, glides along that line from a deliberately chosen start anchor to a deliberately chosen destination.
This sourceEstablishes that collinear and smoothly continuing elements are perceived as coherent visual groupings.
