Big vs. small.

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

	COMMENTS	`The meaning of "big" left intentionally vague. There are various specific ways to define size, such as diameter, minimum distance between points on edge, and size of smallest bounding circle.` `All examples in this Bongard Problem are single simple shapes, either outlines or solid black.` `All examples on the same side are approximately the same size.`
	REFERENCE	`M. M. Bongard, Pattern Recognition, Spartan Books, 1970, p. 214.`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1 * BP3 BP4 BP5 BP6 BP7`
	KEYWORD	`easy, nice, fuzzy, spectrum, size, stable, finished, traditional, continuous, bongard`

	WORLD	`outline_or_fill_shape [smaller \| same \| bigger]`
	AUTHOR	`Mikhail M. Bongard`

Non-wiggly outline vs. wiggly outline.

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

	COMMENTS	`"Wiggly" means a high number of small concavities adjacent to one another all around the outline.` `All examples in this Bongard Problem are shape outlines.` `Shapes with outlines that are only wiggly within partial sections would be ambiguous. Shapes with outlines that have many medium-size concavities would be ambiguous.`
