Those of us working in the neighborhood of Common Core and STEAM (STEM + Anthro, or Art in most accounts), might appreciate "outside the box" as a fine meme to build on.
How?
What do you picture when you picture a box?
No doubt a rectilinear affair no? Not a tetrahedron certainly. But why not?
The tetrahedron is the paradigm container, with minimal edges and faces.
Forget practicality, think about conceptuality.
We'll get back to practicality, with the same Cube in a spanking new context.
We might spin it as "break free from the box" in the sense of the box's shape.
We're free of our stereotype of "a box". The blinders have come off.
What difference does it make, to be free of the "box shape"? Think about it.
