COMMENTS

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "stub" on the OEBP.

Right-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "finished" on the OEBP.


Users are not able to add or remove examples from Problems tagged "finished." (This is unusual; most Bongard Problems on the OEBP can be expanded indefinitely by users.)


A "finished" Bongard Problem will always admit the alternative, convoluted solution "is [left example 1] OR is [left example 2] OR . . . OR is [last left example] vs. is [right example 1] OR is [right example 2] OR . . . OR is [last right example]".

CROSSREFS

Bongard's original Problems are tagged "finished."

COMMENTS

Left-sorted BPs have the keyword "notso" on the OEBP.


This meta Bongard Problem is about Bongard Problems featuring two rules that are conceptual opposites.


Sometimes both sides could be seen as the "not" side: consider, for example, two definitions of the same Bongard Problem, "shape has hole vs. does not" and "shape is not filled vs. is". It is possible (albeit perhaps unnatural) to phrase the solution either way when the left and right sides partition all possible relevant examples cleanly into two groups (see the allsorted keyword).


When one property is "positive-seeming" and its opposite is "negative-seeming", it usually means the positive property would be recognized without counter-examples (e.g. a collection of triangles will be seen as such), while the negative property wouldn't be recognized without counter-examples (e.g. a collection of "non-triangle shapes" will just be interpreted as "shapes" unless triangles are shown opposite them).


BP513 (keyword left-narrow) is about Bongard Problems whose left side can be recognized without the right side. When a Bongard Problem is left-narrow and not "right-narrow that usually makes the property on the left seem positive and the property on the right seem negative.


The OEBP by convention has preferred the "positive-seeming" property (when there is one) to be on the left side.


All in all, the keyword "notso" should mean:

1) If the Bongard Problem is "narrow" on at least one side, then it is left-narrow.

2) The right side is the conceptual negation of the left side.


If a Bongard Problem's solution is "[Property A] vs. not so", the "not so" side is everything without [Property A] within some suitable context. A Bongard Problem "triangles vs. not so" might only include simple shapes as non-triangles; it need not include images of boats as non-triangles. It is not necessary for all the kitchen sink to be thrown on the "not so" side (although it is here).

CROSSREFS

See BP1001 for a version sorting pictures of Bongard Problems (miniproblems) instead of links to pages on the OEBP. (This version is a little different. In BP1001, the kitchen sink of all other possible images is always included on the right "not so" side, rather than a context-dependent conceptual negation.)


Contrast keyword viceversa.


"[Property A] vs. not so" Bongard Problems are often allsorted, meaning they sort all relevant examples--but not always, because sometimes there exist ambiguous border cases, unclear whether they fit [Property A] or not.

BP1231 Bongard Problems where some information is left out from examples and they are only sorted on the side they seem to fit vs. other Bongard Problems.

BP1229
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

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


In a "seemslike" Bongard Problem, some relevant information is left out by the way objects are displayed. Solutions to "seemslike" BPs sound like "Seems like a ___ based on the information available vs. seems like a ___ based on the information available". The two sides are typically negations of one another (keyword notso).


Since there is information missing, examples can only be sorted assuming they appear in a way that hints psychologically at what they actually are (see help).

CROSSREFS

Although the rule sorting the underlying objects may be precise, the rule sorting the projections of the objects with lost information is fuzzy and subjective.


See also left-couldbe (and right-couldbe), concerning situations in which the information given may be enough to determine when examples fail to satisfy a rule but is never enough to determine when they do satisfy the rule ("could be ___ vs. clearly is not"). In contrast to "seemslike" Bongard Problems, left-couldbe Bongard Problems can be precise; both evidence of fitting right and absence of evidence of fitting right is clear-cut, so no psychologically helpful hints (help) are needed.
