BP1258 It is possible to deduce the contents of any square from the rest vs. it is not.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

BP979 is very similar: whether a particular square can be deduced from the rest.

BP1257 The rule is about squares having a certain relationship with their neighbors vs. it is not.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Local vs. global."


For clarity, rules involving diagonal neighbors or squares more than one step away are never used.


The similar solution "Each square can be deduced from its neighbors vs. not so" does not quite work; for example EX8114 would then not fit left. See also BP1258 ("Each square can be deduced from the rest vs. not so").

Any small amount of convexity along the grey border will cause an example to fit right.

BP1246 Any symmetry exhibited by some non-empty subset of the objects is also a symmetry of the whole thing vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

In other words, placing the image over itself (rotation and flipping allowed) so that any parts match up makes the whole image match up to itself vs. not so.

CROSSREFS

See BP965 for a variation on this idea where the "parts" are allowed to be arbitrary regions of the image instead of individual objects shown in the image.
