COMMENTS

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "neither" on the OEBP.


This keyword is for Bongard Problems for which some obviously relevant case, in the same class as the shown examples, clearly would not fit in with either of the two sides.



An example falling in the threshold between a less-than/greater-than comparison (keyword spectrum) is a special case; it is easy to view such an example as belonging on both sides (keyword both) as well as neither side.

NOTE: It might be nice to have a separate keyword for tracking these special-case spectrum-based ambiguities (because they don't quite suit the keywords "both" or "neither"). - Aaron David Fairbanks, Apr 16 2022

CROSSREFS

See also both.

The keywords "neither" and allsorted are mutually exclusive.


Usually, Bongard Problems with a case that fits neither side in a clear-cut way are precise.

COMMENTS

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


The archetypal example is "rhombuses vs. rectangles".


Notice "rhombuses vs. rectangles" could alternatively be interpreted as "not rectangles vs. not rhombuses"; by this less natural interpretation, a square would fit on neither side (keyword neither) rather than both.


In fact, for any Bongard Problem solution "A vs. B", there are three alternative solution descriptions: "A vs. not A", "not B vs. B", and "not B vs. not A". These are not necessarily just different wordings of the same answer. For example, "rhombuses vs. not rhombuses" and "not rectangles vs. rectangles" differ on where they would sort a square. (This discrepancy between "A vs. not A" and "B vs. not B" occurs whenever "A vs. B" does not sort all relevant cases. See the keyword allsorted.)


"Is a rhombus" and "is a rectangle" are what are on the OEBP called "narrow" patterns, while "is not a rectangle" and "is not a rhombus" are not. (See keywords left-narrow and right-narrow for more explanation.)

COMMENTS

Left-sorted Problems have the keyword "miniworlds" on the OEBP.


All examples in this Problem are visual Bongard Problems with multiple objects in most panels. This is key as an intuitive set of allowable objects needs to be communicated by any one sorted image.


There is a decent degree of overlap between rules and "miniworlds", but BP1049 is an example of a "miniworlds" problem where the rule is constant across examples, and BP1155 is an example of a "rules" Problem that would not be tagged "miniworlds".


Although this Problem does sort any BP whose examples are images of Bongard Problems left, it is probably best not to consider them to avoid clutter and more unnecessary keywords being attached to them.

This Problem sorts all sequence and grid Problems on its left, and all orderedpair, unorderedpair, orderedtriplet, unorderedtriplet, fixedsequence, and fixedgrid Problems on its left.


Right-sorted examples could collectively be called "n-wise comparison Problems".

COMMENTS

Examples sorted by this problem need to be Bongard Problems with some multiple disconnected shapes in them that are formatted in some way.


Problems do not necessarily need symbols to recur across examples to be sorted left.


Right-sorted Problems usually vary their object "language" across examples to emphasise the generality of their solution. Every example in these problems would be thought of as having its own intuitive "world".


TO DO: Figure out whether to implement the prerequisite "You must easily be able to think of a way that a sorted problem could be redrawn such that its sorting in this Problem would switch." This restriction would eliminate problems like BP121 from being sorted, for example, as its solution hinges on the consistency of the symbols across examples. The keyword consistentsymbols already describes problems like this. This also eliminates problems like BP998 from sorting.


TO DO: Should this problem's world be changed from "Formatted object comparison BPs" to "object comparison BPs"? This would allow for some nice Problems like BP841 to be sorted, but may make things too broad.
