Obviously the best way to test this model is to take a number of familiar objects, cover them with hooks, and roll them around within a house-sized tumbler to see what unforeseen and astonishingly poetic images emerge as they collide randomly and cling (or fail to cling).
This is going to be the best Mythbusters episode EVAH.
Perhaps it will make up for the débâcle that ensued from their attempt to test Socrates' 'aviary' model of memory.* OK, he actually stole it from David Hartley.

How about the X-Ray Spex "plastic bag" model?

Wait. Samuel Coleridge as in Samuel Taylor "proof LSD existed in teh 18th century" Coleridge? I guess that explains some things provided you have a very liberal method of defining "shared affinities".

There's enough evidence for laudanum-soaked-dopers that I can't imagine further proof was needed.

You really should read The Road to Xanadu, which tries to reconstruct the workings of Coleridge's mind in detail. Contemporary Coleridge scholars don't seem to rate for it, but it's so much fun that I don't care.
The hook and eye model sounds a lot like an early iteration of Katamari Damacy.
WTF is that art piece? I'll take five.
It's in the Czech modern art collection in the Veletržní palác, up on the 6th floor. I don't seem to have noted down the artist's name, though, and the gallery's website is a load of pants.
So you took accurate geospatial coordinates within +/-1m but forgot to note the artist? Okay then. At least you got the important part.
Also the world needs more X-Ray Spex.

Cogito ergot sum.
"A load of pants".
Hokay. That's every bit as righteous as a 'dog's breakfast'.
I'm going to assume it is something fundamentally different than a "pants load". It also constitutes a description of laundry that could never apply to me.
"What's that?"
"A load of pants."
"In the middle of your office? How'd they get there?"
"Dunno. Art project, probably."
Cogito ergot sum.
AHEM.
