  > matter follows the same rules everywhere when they interact with each other like particle systems yes, I suspect that is a major factor, though it falls in the realm of complexity physics that, afaik, has not yet formalized such universality the other factor might purely internal (our visual processing latching on to known patterns). this bias starts already from the point astronomers process the collected data and compose these images.

  But the forces do change at different scale. Gravity does not influence particules for example. And my understanding is that at gigantic scale (galaxies) gravity is not sufficient to explain all observations. Thus we create those dark concepts (dark matter, dark energies) that might well be misunderstood new forces operating at these scales.

    "Particles" as in a model of particle-like interaction. So the particles in question could be individual stars on a larger scale. Or asteroid sized clumps in solar system scale. In fact, much of the simulations for all these systems involve particle representation.
