BP1200 The whole rectangle can be filled in by successively replacing pairs of adjacent rectangles with one vs. not so.

COMMENTS

Another wording: "can be repeatedly broken along 'fault lines' to yield individual pieces vs not."

CROSSREFS

All of the examples fitting left here would fit right in BP1199 except for (1) a single rectangle, (2) two rectangles stacked vertically, or (3) two rectangles side by side horizontally.


All of the examples fitting right in in BP1097 (re-styled) would fit right here (besides a single solid block, but that isn't shown there).

COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are paths of short and long line segments which do not self-intersect. This could be a useful world to use in an abstract binary sequence BP.

COMMENTS

Jago originally designed this as a triptych. EX9655, EX9656, and EX9657 belong in a third category displayed further right of the two categories shown here. The third category is "all possible ways of matching are equally natural". - Aaron David Fairbanks, Apr 18 2022
