BP999 The collection of collections obeys the same rule as the individual collections vs. it does not.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Rhetorical question: Where would the collection of left examples of this Bongard Problem be sorted by this Bongard Problem? (The question is whether these examples considered together satisfy the pattern that all the parts do, namely that the whole satisfies the pattern that all the parts do.)

See BP793 and BP1004 for similar paradoxes.

CROSSREFS

See BP1005 for the version about only numerical properties; examples in that BP would be sorted the same way here that they are there.

See BP1003 for a similar idea. Rather than the collection of collections imitating the individual collections, BP1003 is about the total combined collection imitating the individual collections. A picture showing (for example) an odd number of even-numbered groups would be sorted differently by these two BPs.

Also see BP1004, is likewise about the whole satisfying the same rule as its parts, but there the parts don't themselves have to be collections; there the parts are just plain individual objects. The panels in BP999 (this BP) should be sorted the same way in BP1004.

See BP1002, which is about only visual self-similarity instead of more general conceptual "self-similarity".

BP1003 The combined collection fits the same rule as the sub-collections vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Since it is most intuitive to imagine spatially squishing together all the collections in the process of combining them into one big collection, avoid rules that involve relative spatial positionings of objects.

CROSSREFS

Contrast BP999, which is very similar. There, when considering the whole picture, the collections are to be treated as individual objects; here, when considering the whole picture, the collections are to be combined into one big collection. A picture showing (for example) an odd number of even-numbered groups would be sorted differently by these two BPs.

Also contrast BP1004, which is about a collection of plain objects obeying the same rule as all the objects (instead of a collection of [collections of objects] obeying the same rule as all the [collections of objects]).

See BP1006 for the version with only number-based properties. All panels in that Bongard Problem fit the same way in this Bongard Problem as well.

BP1004 The whole satisfies the same rule as its parts vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The "whole" is the entire panel including the bounding box. A "part" is some region either stylistically different or amply separated in space from everything else. Smaller parts-within-parts don't count as parts.


Rhetorical question: Where would the collection of left examples of this Bongard Problem be sorted by this Bongard Problem? (The question is whether these examples considered together satisfy the pattern that all the parts do, namely that the whole satisfies the pattern that all the parts do.)

See BP793 and BP999 for similar paradoxes.

CROSSREFS

See BP1006 for the version about numerical properties where each part is a cluster of dots; examples in that BP would be sorted the same way here that they are there.

See BP999 and BP1003 for versions where each object is itself a collection of objects, so that the focus is on rules specifically pertaining to collections (e.g. "all the objects are different").

See BP1002 for a Bongard Problem about only visual self-similarity instead of conceptual self-similarity.


The rule shown in each panel is "narrow" (see BP513left and BP514left).

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.

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
