BP793 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.

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.

BP927 Image of Bongard Problem whose self-sorting depends on examples in it vs. image of Bongard Problem that will sort any Bongard Problem with its solution on either its left or right regardless of examples chosen.

COMMENTS

All examples are Bongard Problems fitting left or right in BP793.


All examples here are in the conventional format, i.e. white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.


Border cases are Bongard Problems that always self-sort one way given their particular visual format (e.g. fixed number of boxes), but self-sort a different way in another slightly different format.


Meta Bongard Problems appearing in BP793 that are presentationinvariant necessarily fit right here.


It is interesting to think about how this Bongard Problem sorts itself. The only self-consistent answer is that it fits right.

BP1080 Image of a Bongard Problem vs. other image.

COMMENTS

Various formats of Bongard Problems frequently seen on the OEBP are showcased on the left side here.

CROSSREFS

See BP968, which distinguishes solvable Bongard Problems from other images still formatted like Bongard Problems (as opposed to this page, which distinguishes Bongard Problems from any other images.)
