COMMENTS

Rhetorical question: Where does this Bongard Problem sort an image of itself?

See BP999 and BP1004 for similar paradoxes.

CROSSREFS

See BP517 for the version with links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems (miniproblems).

BP927 Image of Bongard Problem whose self-categorization depends on examples in it vs. image of Bongard Problem that will sort any image of a BP in this format with its solution on either its left or right regardless of examples chosen.

COMMENTS

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.

CROSSREFS

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

BP944 Image of Bongard Problem that would sort ANY image of a valid Bongard Problem on one of its sides vs. image of Bongard Problem whose categorization of a BP image would depend on the solution or examples in it.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Any" here means any image of a Bongard Problem in the relevant format, i.e. with white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.


All examples shown in this Problem clearly sort themselves on the left or right.


A self-referential but maybe simpler solution is "would sort all examples in this whole Bongard Problem on one of its sides vs. not so." Users adding examples please try to maintain this: for any example you add to the right of this Bongard Problem, make sure it does not sort all the other examples in this Bongard Problem on just one of its sides. - Aaron David Fairbanks, Aug 26 2020
