Orb(…) Packet derives from the content-emphasis path.

Orb Which Does Not Touch the Sides of a Packet (a) and Orb Which Does Not Touch the Sides of a Packet (b) is a title which infers a system with a mode of organisation. (a) and (b) infers subsets of a category: instances in which a point hovers within the edges of a boundary, without touching the boundary. Packet (a) establishes the format: a small, glossy black ball suspended in a used JUUL nicotine pod packet. Packet (b) is a second iteration: a small, glossy black ball suspended in a used JUUL nicotine pod packet, with an accompanying cigarette butt, an addendum. Nicotine and nicotine, the inclusion of a cigarette butt is an associative link based on the nonessential fact that the boundary in the system is provisionally represented with JUUL packaging. The inclusion of the cigarette butt is moot, irrelevant to the essential qualities/rules of the system. Ergo the cigarette butt does not touch the sides of the packet.
