(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are paths of short and long line segments which do not self-intersect. This could be a useful world to use in an abstract binary sequence BP.

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

BP1163 Eventually blinks vs. never blinks.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The intended presentation is that the animations are displayed without access to the underlying GIF files, so that there is no way to tell a dot blinks besides waiting.

EXAMPLE

EX9124 shows a 9 square by 9 square grid. Take each tile to be 3 squares by 3 squares; there is a 3 tile by 3 tile checkerboard pattern. (One of these tiles is itself a checkerboard pattern; the other is all black squares.)

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
