Is there a mathematical formula for the Gestalt Law of Proximity?
I would like to know if there are any mathematical formulas that define the Gestalt Law of Proximity.
For example, in the picture above, at what distance of Y would the 4th square be perceived not a part of the group?
------ Update: I apologize for not giving enough details in the question earlier
- The context is for on-screen elements, say on a website, so all 3D attributes, viewing angle can be discounted.
- Assume the elements are identical to one another. Same colour, shape, size, border, etc...
- The only differentiating factor is the PROXIMITY.
