Left-sorted BPs have the keyword "left-null" on the OEBP.

Right-sorted BPs have the keyword "right-null" on the OEBP.

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "invariance" on the OEBP.

Bongard Problems labelled "invariance" are usually (but not always) about transformations that can be undone by other transformations of the same class. (The technical term for this kind of transformation is an "isomorphism".)

When the transformations used in a "invariance" Bongard Problem vary continuously, there could usually be made a corresponding stability Bongard Problem. Stability Bongard Problems are like "invariance" Bongard Problems but for arbitrarily small applications of [transformation] affecting examples' sorting.

Potentially, stability Bongard Problems could be considered "invariance" Bongard Problems. On one hand, they are different, since checking whether arbitrarily small transformations switch an example's sorting is different from checking whether a particular transformation switches an example's sorting; the former is infinitely many conditions. On the other hand, there is actually only finitely much detail in any of the examples, and in practice a stability Bongard Problem generally just amounts to "a small application of [transformation] switches an example's sorting vs. not".

(The keyword gap is another example of a Bongard Problem currently labelled with "invariance" that arguably does not technically fit.)

Also, dependence Bongard Problems could be considered "invariance" Bongard Problems, where the relevant kind of transformation is swapping the example out for any other example that shares the relevant property.

"Invariance" Bongard Problems are notso Bongard Problems.

"Invariance" Bongard Problems are often keywords (keyword keyword) on the OEBP.

See keyword problemkiller, which is about transformations making all sorted examples unsortable.

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

If applying a scaling to the whole of any example can change its sorting the BP fits on the left side here. (For BPs with bounding boxes means scaling an object appearing in a box within the bounding box.)

Note that BPs about relative size comparisons of multiple objects fit on the right side.

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

If rotating an example about the center can change its sorting the BP is a left example here.

Note that BPs about relative rotation comparisons fit on the right side.

See BP872 for the version with pictures of Bongard Problems instead (miniproblems) of links to pages on the OEBP.

Bongard Problems tagged "rotate" are usually handed, since any rotation can be created by two reflections. Not necessarily, however, since the reflected step in between might not be sorted on either side by the Bongard Problem.

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

If mirroring any example along the any axis can change its sorting the BP is "handed."

Note that BPs about comparing orientation between multiple things in one example fit on the right side.

See BP871 for the version with pictures of Bongard Problems (miniproblems) instead of links to pages on the OEBP.

The keyword leftright is specifically about flipping over the vertical axis, while the keyword updown is specifically about flipping over the horizontal axis.

Bongard Problems tagged rotate are usually "handed", since any rotation can be created by two reflections. Not necessarily, however, since the reflected step in between might not be sorted on either side by the Bongard Problem.

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

Right examples have the keyword "traditional" on the OEBP.

Experimental BPs push the boundaries of what makes Bongard Problems Bongard Problems.

Traditional BPs show some simple property of black and white pictures. The OEBP is a place with many wild and absurd Bongard Problems, so it is useful to have an easy way to just find the regular old Bongard Problems.

Right examples have the keyword "convoluted" on the OEBP.

Images of Bongard Problems with convoluted solutions often admit many alternative solutions of similar complexity. In order for one particular convoluted solution to be the simplest solution, it is often necessary to include a large number of examples. A similar issue appears in infodense Bongard Problems.

When a Bongard Problem is too convoluted, a person might find the intended answer but discount it because it seems too convoluted. A solution to a Bongard Problem is unambiguous when it is the least convoluted option by a large margin.

Related to arbitrary.
