Shouldn't this have been a disambiguation page instead? :-. EverGreg 18:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

While reading the definition of continguity, I preferred to rephrase it by reordering the same words:

The Law of Contiguity (one of Aristotle's Laws of Association) refers to the fact that things that are readily associated occur in proximity to each other in time or space. This is a somewhat different statement than the former "things that occur in proximity to each other in time or space are readily associated."

I say this because ... it is much easier to conclude or see association in "two spies met (association) on the bus (time & space/place)" than it is to conclude or see association in "two men who met on the bus are spies (or associated at all)".
