What is a corner? What happens if a corner is removed from its context? Does the removing of a corner not just create new corners? Is it possible for a corner to be an object? Why corners? Is it less about corners but more about the point where things meet? About the border between things? Room and not-room, wall and not-wall? Are there rooms without corners? What about spheres? Are spheres cornerless or are they nothing but corners? In what reality would a spherical room be possible? Does the idea of a spherical room have anything to do with the human function of a room? What is the opposite of a corner? Is there such a thing? Does a room create nothingness? Does nothingness even exist? If so, what keeps nothingness empty? What is the difference between nothingness and something that is-not? Can everything be measured? If not, then what cannot be measured? What happens if a ruler is defective? How to know if a ruler is defective? What is a gömböc? How to pronounce the word “gömböc”? How does quantum theory allow a rock to turn suddenly into a duck? What is the shape of an electron? How do rationality and spiritualism relate to the global economic system? What does urushi lacquer have to do with the stock market? What is BIP39? How to manually generate a crypto recovery phrase by using dice? Is it common knowledge that the singular of “dice” is “die”? Is it reasonable to say that I am working with corners no matter what I am working with because it all started with corners?
