BP874 Solution is a quantity comparison vs. solution does not involve quantity.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

See BP873 for comparisons based on discrete quantities vs. comparisons based on continuous quantities. All examples in that Bongard Problem fit left here.


Similar to BP200 with sides flipped. (However, "Bongard Problem based on quantity" is a more general criterion than "Bongard Problem based on discrete counting.")

BP875 Bongard Problem would sort all relevant examples vs. possible objects similar to those seen on both sides would have no clear sorting.

COMMENTS

Left examples partition a pool of objects cleanly into two classes.

BP876 Precise sorting of potential examples vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left Bongard Problems do not have to sort all relevant examples; if they would leave some border cases unsorted, it just has to be clear precisely which examples those would be.


Often a precise divide between values on a spectrum comes from intuitively "crossing a threshold." For example, there is an intuitive threshold between acute and obtuse angles. Two sides of a Bongard Problem on opposite ends of a threshold, coming close to it, are interpreted as having precise divide between sides, right up against that threshold.

BP877 "Less than vs. greater than" (or vice versa) vs. "equal to vs. greater than" (or "less than").
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples are quantity-comparison Problems in which the dividing point on the spectrum separating the sides lands between them. Right examples are quantity-comparison Problems in which the dividing point is the entirety of one of the sides (always the left side, for clarity).

Only less-than vs. greater-than Problems may have imprecise (BP876right) dividing point between sides.

BP881 Right pattern is proper subset of left pattern vs. right pattern is not subset of left pattern.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

You can try to interpret these images as Bongard Problems. This works just when the left side includes no objects that would fit in with the right side (as in EX7357 but not EX7361), the solution is "not [right pattern] vs. [right pattern]"; otherwise there is no apparent solution.


The solvable Bongard Problems sorted left here are right-narrow and not left-narrow, with the left side the negation of the right side (see notso).

BP927 Image of Bongard Problem whose self-sorting depends on examples in it vs. image of Bongard Problem that will sort any Bongard Problem with its solution on either its left or right regardless of examples chosen.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples are Bongard Problems fitting left or right in BP793.


All examples here are in the conventional format, i.e. white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.


Border cases are Bongard Problems that always self-sort one way given their particular visual format (e.g. fixed number of boxes), but self-sort a different way in another slightly different format.


Meta Bongard Problems appearing in BP793 that are presentationinvariant necessarily fit right here.


It is interesting to think about how this Bongard Problem sorts itself. The only self-consistent answer is that it fits right.

CROSSREFS

See BP793 "sorts self left vs. sorts self right".

BP944 Image of Bongard Problem that would sort ANY image of a valid Bongard Problem on one of its sides vs. image of Bongard Problem whose categorization of a BP image would depend on the solution or examples in it.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Any" here means any image of a Bongard Problem in the relevant format, i.e. with white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.


All examples shown in this Problem clearly sort themselves on the left or right.


A self-referential but maybe simpler solution is "would sort all examples in this whole Bongard Problem on one of its sides vs. not so." Users adding examples please try to maintain this: for any example you add to the right of this Bongard Problem, make sure it does not sort all the other examples in this Bongard Problem on just one of its sides. - Aaron David Fairbanks, Aug 26 2020
