            collapsing a cardboard box. dimensions

           out, distances  disappear,  the world is           
           mangled  down  to  two  dimensions.  and           
       .   suddenly  light falls  on  the  edge  of           
           everything rather  than the  surface: it           
  =                all goes completely dark.
