The order in which the objects in the top half are combined to make the object in the lower half matters vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Operations depicted in right-sorted examples are called "commutative".` `"Order matters" here means that if the objects in the top half were to switch places, the output would look different.`

Unordered object-wise comparison Bongard Problems where the number of objects can vary between examples vs. similar Bongard Problems where certain objects are distinguishable in some consistent way across all examples.

	COMMENTS	`Any "sequence" (BP929^left) or "grid" (BP1176^left) Problems will be sorted right.`

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.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1241 BP1242 BP1243 BP1244 BP1245 * BP1247 BP1248 BP1249 BP1250 BP1251`
