To play with a normal cube is hard. It’s too simple, smooth and perfect to form an equilibrium relationship with other objects without some cuts or additions. After digging a diagonal cylindrical notch along the six faces of a hexahedron, new possibilities are now open for forces to be conducted along the new object: the additional groups of vertices created by the notches, the chamfered corner that shapes like bird beaks and the diagonal instead of perpendicular notches all points to a new framework of equilibrium centering on utilizing the formal potential of this object.
