🧪 Creative Visual Thinking Simulation

Creative visual thinking starts with perception itself — the automatic way a scattered field of dots, colors, gaps and motion resolves into shapes, sets and stories before any deliberate reasoning happens. This simulator renders that process directly: a live 3D field of particles that you can push through the four classic Gestalt grouping laws — proximity, similarity, closure and common fate — while a real algorithm (connected-components clustering, arc-coverage measurement, or velocity-direction matching) computes how many groups the scene actually contains at every moment. Drag the grouping-strength slider and watch the readout track the exact instant a handful of separate dots snaps into a single perceived whole.
