Pre-attentive processes (http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2006/02/18/how_to_provide_instant_focus.htm) are basically independent of the number of distractors placed. It doesn't matter how many of them are present, the time to identify the target is constant and typically below 1/4 of a second... On the contrary, if you get larger times when more distractors are added, the phenomenon is not pre-attentively processed (According to Colin Ware in his book Information Visualization: Perception for Design ).

Then, steadily, think, speak and move as if you were led. Behave as if your vision were clear. Anticipate the emotional rush that will come with your triumph. And as if by magic, as you raise your pen to write, you'll find the words have already been summoned, flooded in light that was there all along, in a world that had just as anxiously anticipated your arrival.

"The world of ideas which it [mathematics] discloses or illuminates, the contemplation of divine beauty and order which it induces, the harmonious connexion of its parts, the infinite hierarchy and absolute evidence of the truths with which it is concerned, these, and such like, are the surest grounds of the title of mathematics to human regard, and would remain unimpeached and unimpaired were the plan of the universe unrolled like a map at our feet, and the mind of man qualified to take in the whole scheme of creation at a glance." - J.J.

Gestaltists proposed a theory of pattern perception that relies on the overall form and is not predictable by considering its components. Factors that impact on the perception of form and impact on how parts are grouped into structural forms are captured in what are called the "Gestalt Principles of Organization". The importance of these concepts to art and design were explored at the Bauhaus by such artists as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Josef Albers.
