(3) Non-contacting arrangement

It is natural to lack of unity, when completely different shapes are separately arranged. On the contrary, it is likely to create a well united KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) by using of the shapes which have common elements. Even when combining different shapes, it is easy for a picture to be in unity if these shapes have structural similarity or consistency on the whole.

When separately arranged, the shapes and colors remain unchanged, so the things in KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) which happened in sections (1) and (2) do not occur. To put it another, it is rather boring if you arrange shapes and colors in this way, for the range of the device is narrow.

· Figure 128 is an example of the arrangement of points with a good mixture of orderliness and freedom without mathematical rules.
