you know how when you make a 3d engen do a reflection into a skybox, or something similar? it has no idea what to draw, so it just leaves whatever was in the screen buffer there... getting the so called "hall of mirriors" effect.

i dont think we can usually handle whats outside the box, so we eather see it as a no-draw and avert our eyes out of confusion, or we quickly erect another box arround ourselves so we can see its attractively blank surfaces.
