BP1129 An oval is sorted left; shapes are sorted left when they can be built out of others sorted left by A) joining side by side (at a point) or B) joining one on top of the other (joining one's entire bottom edge to the other's entire top edge).
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This was an unintended solution for BP1130.


In category theory lingo, left examples are built by repeated horizontal composition and vertical composition. (Making horizontal lines as 0-ary vertical compositions is here forbidden.)

Anything fitting right in BP1130 fits right here.

BP1127 There is no rule for how the objects in a cluster interrelate vs. there is.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Other ways of phrasing this:

"Local" vs. "global" properties of collections: to check a collection satisfies a "local" property, it is only necessary to check each individual thing in it satisfies some property.

The rule all collections satisfy is just "every object is a ___" vs. the rule is something more.

BP1123 Can be cut into tiles forming a checkerboard pattern vs. not so.

All examples in this Problem are grids consisting of two objects.

EXAMPLE

EX9124 shows a 9 square by 9 square grid. Take each tile to be 3 squares by 3 squares; there is a 3 tile by 3 tile checkerboard pattern. (One of these tiles is itself a checkerboard pattern; the other is all black squares.)

BP1120 No same-sized copies of self overlap vs. distinct same-sized copies overlap.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

With mathematical jargon:

No distinct same-sized copies of self overlap on a subset with positive measure in the Hausdorff measure using the Hausdorff dimension.


For a covering of a fractal by finitely many scaled down copies of itself, the condition of that no two have an intersection with positive measure is equivalent to the condition that the Hausdorff dimension coincides with the similarity dimension.

(There is another similar condition in this context called the "open set condition" which implies this but is not equivalent. The open set condition is equivalent to the condition that the Hausdorff measure using the similarity dimension is nonzero.)

BP1119 Tiled by finitely many smaller copies of itself (different sizes allowed) vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

These are sometimes called "irreptiles".

See BP532 for the version with only one size of tile allowed.

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.
