Right-sorted BPs have the keyword "gap" on the OEBP.

A Bongard Problem with a gap showcases two completely separate classes of objects.

For example, the Bongard Problem "white vs. black" (BP962) has a gap; there is no obvious choice of shared context between the two sides. One could imagine there is a spectrum of grays between them, or that there is a space of partially filled black-and-white images between them, or any number of other ambient contexts.

Bongard Problems about comparing quantities on a spectrum should not usually be considered "gap" BPs. (Discrete spectra perhaps.) A spectrum establishes a shared context, with examples on both sides of the BP landing somewhere on it. (However, if it is reasonable to imagine getting the solution without noticing a spectrum in between, it could be a gap, since the ambient context is unclear.)

Bongard Problems with gaps may seem particularly arbitrary when the two classes of objects are particularly unrelated.

If a Bongard Problem has a "gap" it is likely precise: it will likely be clear on which side any potential example fits.

"Gap" implies stable. (This technically includes cases in which ALL small changes make certain examples no longer fit in with the Bongard Problem, as is sometimes the case in "gap" BPs. See also BP1144.)

See also preciseworld. "Gap" Bongard Problems would be tagged "preciseworld" when the two classes of objects are each clear; it is then apparent that there is no larger shared context and that no other types of objects besides the two types would be sorted by the Bongard Problem.

See BP1140, which is about any (perhaps large) additions instead of repeated small changes.

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

Slightly different: sliding the content in a box around without letting it cross the bounding box and without changing the size of the bounding box. (See keyword absoluteposition.)

Expanding the boxes of BP2 ("big vs. small") makes the contents smaller in comparison to the box, but not smaller in an absolute sense. Hence the situation is ambiguous.

If a Bongard Problem has the keyword absoluteposition, then it likely has the keyword boundingbox.

If a Bongard Problem has the keyword boundingbox and does not have the keyword bordercontent, then it likely has the keyword absoluteposition.

Bongard Problems sorted left have the keyword "absoluteposition" on the OEBP.

The repositioned content has to stay within the box. If an example in a Bongard Problem features content touching a border (keyword bordercontent), then that prevents the contents from being shifted in that direction.

If a Bongard Problem has the keyword "absoluteposition", then it likely has the keyword boundingbox.

If a Bongard Problem has the keyword boundingbox and does not have the keyword bordercontent, then it likely has the keyword "absoluteposition".
