Define "Box A" as larger in dimensions and volume than "Box B".

Statement #1: box B is inside box A - possibly but not necessarily. More info needed...

Statement #2: box A is inside box B - FALSE. No more info needed. Impossible by logical consequence of definition.

"2" defined

"+" defined

"=" defined

"4" defined

"2 + 2 = 4" discovered...
