minus-squareThreeme2189@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·5 hours agoOK, imagine the space outside of the shape is black, or see through or whatever.
minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down6·5 hours agoWell then the line of separation means nothing and then you’ve lost a right angle to the contiguous void.

minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down5·4 hours agoWithout a distinction of where the cube begins or ends it does not because there is no cube and there are no angles.
