BP1148 Number of dots in the Nth box (from the left) is how many times the number (N - 1) appears in the whole diagram vs. not so.

COMMENTS

Left-sorted examples are sometimes called autobiographical or self-descriptive numbers.

BP1241 Any point contained in (arbitrarily) smaller version of self vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Note if any point is contained in some smaller version of the whole, then any point is contained in arbitrarily smaller versions of the whole.


It isn't possible to unambiguously communicate in a picture whether or not a few specific points are included in the fractal. The pictures are interpreted as what is intuitively simplest. To make matters less ambiguous, all the fractals here contain all points arbitrarily close to points in them. (They are topologically closed. See also BP1239.)


The left hand side of this is a stronger condition than the left hand side of BP1116.

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.
