We're talking real shapes in the real world of physics, chemistry &
biology (and higher), NOT Platonic shapes in Euclidian space. Where
zooming in we find perfect straight lines and sharp corners.

If you zoom in on a real square (Piazza San Marco) for example you
will get a different experience, or a real hexagon the hexene ring of
a DNA base .... the sides and corners have fuzziness. The real hexagon
in a bee cell ... shaped by the jaws of myriads of bees .... think
about it. Fit is about "how good" the fit is.

Real shapes have the history of how they came to be, the interactions
that caused them, not how Plato idealised them.
