Corners

Corners begin with three sides; if you have two sides or fewer, there are no corners. The word 'corner' means 'projection' and is etymologically related to the word 'horn'. One can only feel cornered if framed by at least three points of reference.

Well it works in 3 dimensions too, or more; the point is that you can feel cornered if three points of reference are around you, since they define a plane no matter how many dimensions you exist in.
