SPHERE INSIDE A CUBE

thingiverse

A hollow cube contains a sphere, but its presence inside also indicates something more profound about both objects, particularly concerning space and spatial relations. While the cube's dimensions are neatly defined, providing a fixed frame for anything to be placed inside it, the sphere itself exists with a certain fluidity within that cubical environment. Inside the cube, a shape like the sphere occupies a very specific kind of space; however, given the properties inherent in being both spherical and existing entirely within another object, a natural relationship emerges between how it can fit. While this spatial compatibility is not an impossible or even unnatural thing for objects of certain shapes to achieve inside containers with fixed boundaries such as cubical ones, achieving it poses unique implications on any discussion of shape itself within contained settings like the cube in question here.
