Left examples have the keyword "symboliccontext" on the OEBP.

A "symboliccontext" Bongard Problem may have a very convoluted solution explaining the meaning of each appearing object. However, the solution can become simple given correct interpretations of all objects. It is often the case that only one consistent interpretation of what objects across various boxes are allows a simple solution. The comments sections of "symboliccontext" BP Pages should explain the symbolism used.

"Symboliccontext" is related to "structure" (left-BP789), a complex format that all examples fit that when parsed correctly simplifies the solution. In "symboliccontext" Problems, not all examples need to fit a rigid format; instead there may be various smaller structures of meaning that only appear in some examples.

A most extreme "symboliccontext" Problem is BP121, in which the symbolism is very literal; the Problem's solution is about consistent codes for objects. However, many "symboliccontext" Problems may have solution unrelated to the symbolism; the symbolism may be implicit, such as always interpreting dots as numbers, always interpreting stacked dots as fractions, or always interpreting each in a collection of repeatedly used drawings as the Platonic solid it looks like the most. All Problems have at least minor symbolism in this sense; a Problem should only be given this keyword if there is a relatively high amount of varied symbolism, and particularly if that symbolism does not naturally arise as a common technique in Bongard Problems for communicating the ideas symbolized.

A Problem with a solution like "the most intuitive interpretation of the panel is conceptually related to ___" is not necessarily "symboliccontext," since there is no Problem-specific vocabulary of symbols that must be known to understand it. (Still, arguably, how humans intuitively interpret images is a vocabulary on its own.) When one of these Problems makes assumptions about how specific classes of objects are meant to be intuitively parsed, it becomes "symboliccontext."

In some problems, the symbolic context is not necessary to see, but it just makes the Problem easier to solve (see BP930). For example, a Problem may show many clumps of dots, and the solution of the Problem may have to do with counting the numbers of dots per clump; the Problem might build up a symbolic context by always arranging each number of dots in a consistent way, e.g. how they conventionally appear on dice faces.
