Image of a Bongard Problem that would sort itself on its own left versus image of a Bongard Problem that would sort itself on its own right.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Rhetorical question: Where does this Bongard Problem sort an image of itself?` `See BP999 and BP1004 for similar paradoxes.` `Bongard Problems fitting left here evidently come in three categories: 1) would sort all Bongard Problems with the same solution left, 2) would sort all Bongard Problems with the same solution right, or 3) would sort some Bongard Problems with the same solution left and some right. See BP927.`
	CROSSREFS	`See BP517 for the version with links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems (miniproblems).` `See BP954, which is about Bongard Problems not only sorting themselves, but moreover fractally appearing in themselves as panels.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP788 BP789 BP790 BP791 BP792 * BP794 BP795 BP796 BP797 BP798`
	KEYWORD	`hard, nice, abstract, dual, handed, leftright, solved, meta (see left/right), miniproblems, creativeexamples, presentationmatters, assumesfamiliarity, structure, experimental`
	WORLD	`boxes_bpimage_sorts_self [smaller \| same \| bigger] zoom in left (boxes_bpimage_sorts_self_left) \| zoom in right (boxes_bpimage_sorts_self_right)`

BP795

Image of a Bongard Problem that would sort itself on its own right versus image of a Bongard Problem that would sort itself on its own left.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`"BONGARD HELL."` `This the flipped version of BP793 but using only images of Bongard Problems with solution "__ half more black/less white than other half versus vice versa," that all use rotated, reflected, and inverted versions of the same examples.`
	CROSSREFS	`See BP971 (left vs. right more black) and BP972 (top vs. bottom more black).` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP790 BP791 BP792 BP793 BP794 * BP796 BP797 BP798 BP799 BP800`

Image conceptually relates to the golden ratio/Fibonacci numbers versus not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	CROSSREFS	`BP800 is the metaconcept page for this concept.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP792 BP793 BP794 BP795 BP796 * BP798 BP799 BP800 BP801 BP802`
	KEYWORD	`abstract, math, concept, experimental`

BP801

Number pointed to on number line is "important" mathematical constant vs. not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`This is the "harder version" of BP505.`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP796 BP797 BP798 BP799 BP800 * BP802 BP803 BP804 BP805 BP806`

	AUTHOR	`Aaron David Fairbanks`

BP813

Representations of natural mathematical objects vs. representations of arbitrary objects.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`This is a very fuzzy definition. Some left examples arguably should be placed on the right, since the particular way they are represented is arbitrary--the Platonic solids EX6730 and primes EX6734 especially, as these show arbitrary placement and arrangement of objects. Furthermore if arbitrary representations are allowed one cannot be sure for example the right hand drawing of random numbers EX6740 does not represent "numbers" in general. Still this Bongard Problem has been solved by people.`

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`All examples are "object present vs. object absent" Problems.`

BP839

Opposite (inverse) transformations have been applied to the same specific small square on opposite sides of the dividing line versus not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`The original pre-transformed square is the same across all examples, however it is not shown in most examples; what the pre-transformed square looks like must be deduced by the solver.`
	CROSSREFS	`BP1260 is about applying the same transformation to different objects.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP834 BP835 BP836 BP837 BP838 * BP840 BP841 BP842 BP843 BP844`
