Gestalt Principles of Perception - 5: Closure
The principle of closure is literally about drawing conclusions. We humans are very adept at drawing conclusions from less-than-all the information. Mostly, we’re good at drawing the wrong conclusions, often with the results mentioned above. But in the reference material you’re apt to find, the Gestalt principle of closure is seldom associated with real life. Common references to the principle of closure are pat and clichéd, clever and innocuous, all rainbows and unicorns. In full, the principle of closure is much grittier.
