Although the descriptions of "left-couldbe" and "right-couldbe" sound similar to @left-unknowable and @right-unknowable, they are not the same. It is the difference between a clear absence of information and perpetual uncertainty about whether there is more information to be found.

"Left-couldbe" is usually @left-narrow and "right-couldbe" usually @right-narrow.

In a "couldbe" Bongard Problem, some relevant information is left out by the way objects are displayed. Solutions to "left-couldbe" BPs sound like "Could be a __vs. definitely not a__" (and vice versa for "right-couldbe" BPs.)

To put it in mathematical jargon, there is a "projection" function from objects to pictures, such that objects satisfying property X are mapped to the same picture as objects not satisfying property X. Sorted on the "couldbe" side is the image (under projection) of the collection of objects satisfying property X.

Furthermore, usually X is a relatively narrow criterion, so that most objects do not satisfy it (see keywords @left-narrow and @right-narrow), and all pictures are in the image (under projection) of the collection of objects not satisfying property X.
