BP1239 Fractal topologically closed (each white point has a neighborhood of pure white surrounding it) vs. not
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

It isn't possible to unambiguously communicate whether or not a few specific points are missing.

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.

BP1248 No straight path passes from a white region to a grey one, then to white again (without hitting black) vs. such a path exists.

CROSSREFS

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

BP1258 It is possible to deduce the contents of any square from the rest vs. it is not.

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

CROSSREFS

All examples on the left are chosen so that rotating or flipping the grid in any way would result in a grid satisfying the same rule.

BP1261 Exactly one connected white region for each possible way shapes can overlap vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All left-sorted examples have 2^n distinct white regions (counting the background), where n is the number of shapes in the image.

CROSSREFS

Similar solution to BP1262, except there overlaps do not have to be unique.
