Limitless space? As far as I know, such spaces don't even theoretically
exist, let alone exist in practice!

(even the so called "uncountable" infinities of mathematics can be mapped
into boxes -- most commonly, the box of real numbers from 0 to 1.)

Anyway, my point is that even really big boxes are still boxes -- and I
think (as always) that it's wiser to face the truth than to persist in
delusion, so matter how satisifying[1].
