The "whole" is the entire panel including the bounding box. A "part" is some region of the image enclosed in a boundary either stylistically different or amply separated in space from other parts. All the parts in each panel evidently follow some shared rule.

(Sub-parts within parts don't count as parts; they don't have to obey the rule of the first-order parts.)

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 BP999 for similar paradoxes.

See BP1006 for the version about numerical properties where each part is a cluster of dots; examples in that BP would be sorted the same way here that they are there.

See BP999 and BP1003 for versions where each object is itself a collection of objects, so that the focus is on rules specifically pertaining to collections (e.g. "all the objects are different").

See BP1002 for a Bongard Problem about only visual self-similarity instead of conceptual self-similarity.

The whole satisfies the same rule as its parts vs. not so.
