Using gestalt perception

Description:
A gestalt is a structure or configuration of physical, biological, or psychological phenomena so integrated as to constitute a functional unit with properties not derivable from its parts in summation.
Implementation:
Gestalt psychology in based on the unity of psychic life, the existence and primacy of psychological wholes which are not just a summation of elementary units. Basically, the parts of a shape only have meaning by the fact that they belong to a whole, that is, a shape cannot be split up into its elements without losing the meaning which it possessed as a whole. Thus human behaviour can be thought of as a gestalt, a mental whole which transcends the mere combination of its elements.
