BP1127 There is no rule for how the objects in a cluster interrelate vs. there is.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Other ways of phrasing this:

"Local" vs. "global" properties of collections: to check a collection satisfies a "local" property, it is only necessary to check each individual thing in it satisfies some property.

The rule all collections satisfy is just "every object is a ___" vs. the rule is something more.

BP1157 The order in which the objects in the top half are combined to make the object in the lower half matters vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Operations depicted in right-sorted examples are called "commutative".


"Order matters" here means that if the objects in the top half were to switch places, the output would look different.

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").
