 - In <a href="/en/Pyramid%20of%20knowledge">Pyramid of knowledge</a>, I noticed that the metaphor &quot;<a href="/en/boxes%20are%20stacked">boxes are stacked</a>&quot; and &quot;[Above is abstract and below is concrete.
 - The metaphor of boxes being stacked implicitly carries the nuance that the top box cannot stay in place without the bottom box
 - But in fact it can &quot;float&quot; as in [The Parable of the Floating Grass and the Trees
