good continuation

Vision perceives organization that interrupts fewest lines or that lies on one contour {good continuation} {law of good continuation}. Smooth lines, with no sharp angles, are figure parts. Regions with fewer continuous lines, fewer angles, and fewer angle differences are figures [Ehrenfels, 1891]. For example, the good-continuation law reflects probability that aligned edges belong to same object.
