Left examples have keyword "distractingworld" on the OEBP.

This is different than the kind of distraction mentioned at noisy, which means there are details that are irrelevant to the solution changing between examples.

To label a BP "distractingworld" is to judge that the type of examples are more specific than should have been necessary to communicate the same general solution idea--this involves separating out which ideas are the nice ideas the BP really ought to have been about, and which ideas seem unimportant and irrelevant. On the other hand, to label a BP "noisy" is just to notice there are extra properties varying that are independent of the solution property.

Distractingworld BPs are often arbitrary.

BP1105 was created as an extreme example of this. All images in that BP show the same distractingly detailed background, irrelevant to the solution.

Zero, one, or two objects may technically form a sequence, but if ALL examples of a BP have zero, one, or two objects, we do not consider that BP to be about sequences.

See BP929 for distinction between sequences of arbitrary length and sequences of fixed length (keywords "sequence" and "fixedsequence").

Loosely speaking, examples on the left are "Bongard Problems that can be self-similar". However, Bongard Problems with images of themselves deeply nested in boxes or rotated/flipped are not considered "self-similar"; the Bongard Problem must use itself, as-is (allowing downward scaling and ignoring pixelation), as a panel.

All examples here are in the conventional format, i.e. white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side. (A more general version of this Bongard Problem might allow many formats of Bongard Problems, sorting an image left if a self-similar version is possible having the same solution and format. This more general version would no longer be tagged presentationinvariant, since sorting would not only depend on solution, but also format.)

It would hint at the solution (keyword help) to only include images of Bongard Problems that, as it stands, are already clearly categorized on one side by themselves. (That is, images of Bongard Problems that belong on one of the two sides of BP793.) It is tricky to come up with images that are categorized by themselves as it stands but that could NOT be recursively included within themselves. EX7967, EX7999, EX7995, and EX6574 are some examples.

See BP987 which narrows down the left-hand side of this BP further based on whether or not the BP could contain itself as a panel on both sides.

An image of this Bongard Problem fits on the left side.

See BP867 for a similar BP that sorts links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems.
