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.

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.

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.

See BP793 "sorts self left vs. sorts self right".

See BP944 "sorts every BP on one side vs. doesn't".

"Any" here means any image of a Bongard Problem in the relevant format, i.e. with white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.

All examples shown in this Problem clearly sort themselves on the left or right.

A self-referential but maybe simpler solution is "would sort all examples in this whole Bongard Problem on one of its sides vs. not so." Users adding examples please try to maintain this: for any example you add to the right of this Bongard Problem, make sure it does not sort all the other examples in this Bongard Problem on just one of its sides. - Aaron David Fairbanks, Aug 26 2020

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

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.)
