BP994 Net corresponds to a solid that can tessellate 3D space vs. net does not correspond to a solid that can tessellate 3D space.
?
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

More specifically these solids are polyhedra, and are often called "space-filling".


There is ambiguity here regarding some nets that can be folded to make multiple different solids. For example EX8175 could correspond to a cuboid with a pyramid-like protrusion at each end, a protrusion at one end and an indent at the other, or 2 indents. Only the second of these options can tessellate 3D space. For clarity's sake examples like this are not sorted on either side.

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".

COMMENTS

"I am agnostic on whether to let this world include examples such as EX8932, where pixelation is used, or examples such as suggested by EX8928 similar to the "Topologist's Comb" (link in references) which are not locally path-connected. These two examples were provided by Aaron David Fairbanks." - Jago Collins 28th January 2021

BP1206 Vertical axis of symmetry vs. no vertical axis of symmetry.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This was created to be a slightly different version of BP50, "vertical axis of symmetry vs. no axis of symmetry". The solution for this Bongard Problem is also a (less specific) solution for BP50.

CROSSREFS

BP1207 is the same solution but using the horizontal axis instead of the vertical axis.

BP1215 is the same solution but with the NW/SE diagonal instead of the vertical axis.
