This box IS NOT "missing". It CAN'T be missing because it can't BE, period! It CAN'T EXIST! It is not possible for something to R all & only the things that don't R themselves. Would it (or would it not) R itself, in that case? YOU GET A CONTRADICTION EITHER WAY! This has NOTHING TO DO with boxes, containment, or infinity! It just has to do with matching!
