When does a contained thing fit?

How a contained object's own geometry, its position and the conditions of the container decide whether it can exist there.

Q.39 October 2026exploringopen question

An object inside a structure has a geometry of its own. Whether it fits depends on that geometry, on where it is placed, and on the conditions that permit it to exist there — three things, not one.

Open. Fit has standard formal treatments elsewhere, and any answer here has to be measured against them.
