All examples here are in the conventional format, i.e. white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.

Border cases are Bongard Problems that always self-categorize one way given their particular visual format (e.g. fixed number of boxes), but self-categorize a different way in another slightly different format.

See BP793 "categorizes self left vs. categorizes self right".

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.

All examples in this Problem are images of Bongard Problems that would fit left in BP954.
