COMMENTS

This is the "it" Problem.


Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "left-it" on the OEBP.

Right-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "right-it" on the OEBP.

CROSSREFS

Left-it or right-it implies feedback.

COMMENTS

"I am agnostic on whether to let this world include examples such as EX8932, where pixelation is used, or examples such as suggested by EX8928 similar to the "Topologist's Comb" (link in references) which are not locally path-connected. These two examples were provided by Aaron David Fairbanks." - Jago Collins 28th January 2021

A circle with a circle cut out of it does not fit left, because with the circle cut out of it, our shape is no longer a circle.

BP1107 Contains smaller copy of self with black and white inverted vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

There are various problematic cases left out. Are black and white to be inverted within a fractal's convex hull or its outermost outline?

Must this outline be preserved around the smaller inverted version of the fractal, or is it allowed to bleed into other white areas?

No examples have been included in this Bongard Problem whose placement depends on these questions.

BP1116 Contains self somewhere within any area around any point within self vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Very similar to the less clearly-defined solution "tiles itself with infinitely many copies (different sizes allowed) vs. does not".


The left hand side of this is a weaker condition than the left hand side of BP1241.
