Vertical axis of symmetry vs. no axis of symmetry.

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

	REFERENCE	`M. M. Bongard, Pattern Recognition, Spartan Books, 1970, p. 230.`
	CROSSREFS	`BP152 is the same solution (with the sides switched), using connected shapes and without black filling.` `BP1206 was created to be a slightly different version of this: "vertical axis of symmetry vs. no vertical axis of symmetry." (That less specific solution fits this Bongard Problem as well.)` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP45 BP46 BP47 BP48 BP49 * BP51 BP52 BP53 BP54 BP55`
	KEYWORD	`nice, stretch, left-narrow, finished, traditional, bongard`
	CONCEPT	`symmetry_axis (info \| search),` `symmetry (info \| search)`

	AUTHOR	`Mikhail M. Bongard`

No axis of symmetry vs. vertical axis of symmetry.

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

	CROSSREFS	`BP50 is the same solution (with the sides switched), using multiple shapes and with some shapes filled in black.` `BP1206 is like BP50 but instead of "no axis of symmetry at all" it uses "no vertical axis of symmetry".` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP147 BP148 BP149 BP150 BP151 * BP153 BP154 BP155 BP156 BP157`

	AUTHOR	`Douglas R. Hofstadter`

Rotationally symmetric vs. not.

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

	COMMENTS	`The rotational symmetry axis is about the center of the object, not the bounding box. Positioning within the bounding box is noise.`

Image of a Bongard Problem with solution about a geometrical symmetry (invariance under spatial transformation) vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Every Bongard Problem on the left shows invariance under some transformation in left sub-examples.` `Some Bongard Problems on the right are symmetrical or have sub-examples that are symmetrical.`
	CROSSREFS	`See BP760 for the version with links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP831 BP832 BP833 BP834 BP835 * BP837 BP838 BP839 BP840 BP841`

Evokes the idea of symmetry vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Or, perhaps more concretely, "Depiction of object with some symmetry (invariance under transformation) vs. depiction of object with no simple symmetries."`
