Law of Uniform Connectedness
Things joined visually, such as by a line, are seen as more related than unconnected things.
Why it matters
Connections can show order or relationships more strongly than spacing.
How to use it
- Use lines for steps in a process.
- Connect a menu visually to its trigger.
- Connect related data points in a chart.
Example
A line linking the steps of an order tracker shows they form one sequence.
