BP531 Fractal is tiled by three smaller copies of itself vs. fractal is tiled by five smaller copies of itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

More specifically, all left examples shown in this Problem have Hausdorff dimension log2(3) while all right examples have Hausdorff dimension log3(5).


Left examples can tile themselves by any power of 3 smaller same-sized copies of themselves while right examples can tile themselves by any power of 5 smaller same-sized copies of themselves.


Homage to Bongard's original three versus five Problems.

BP543 Image depicting infinitely many objects vs. image depicting finitely many objects.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Another solution is "evokes infinity vs. not so." Or "seen as having arbitrarily fine detail." All left examples show objects getting smaller and smaller and closer and closer together approaching some limit within the box.

BP852 Object shown below is the "limit" of the sequence above (end result after "infinite time") versus not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Note this is not actually the limit of each infinitesimal pixel assembled into an image. For example in a sequence of halvings the limit value is never reached, so the bottom pixel would never change color and thus its limit would not would not either.


Sequences progress from left to right (and there is not usually a way to intuitively extend the sequence in the other direction).

BP954 Solution could appear in a Bongard Problem that has itself as a panel vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

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.

CROSSREFS

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.
