OK, imagine the space outside of the shape is black, or see through or whatever.

Well then the line of separation means nothing and then you've lost two right angles to the contiguous void.

Why? Does a cube floating in the void not have angles?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Without a distinction of where the cube begins or ends it does not because there is no cube and there are no angles.

[-] Threeme2189@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

The cube begins where the void ends and ends where the void begins.

Fun fact - there are no actual cubes anywhere in the universe. All geometric shapes are an abstraction. There are no cubes and no angles, so that checks out.

Ceci n'est pas une cube.

The angle of the triangle that protrudes into the circular part is not a right angle.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

My apologies you're correct, you lose two right angles.
