I think you’d be able to get it in a little ways before top of the box pushes against its own lid, preventing it from going in any further. If the lid pops back open, then the top of the box will begin sticking out of the box which will likely make it too wide to fit all the way through the wall portal.
But the rules of Portal is that the portals themselves break when moved by any substantial extent anyways so in the game it would just disable the portal altogether.

It’s the scene with the lasers innit? So many “paradoxes” are solved with the answer of “portals cannot move relative to one another,” and then they do the bit with the laser. -_-
Portals cannot be moved. Try putting a portal on a moving surface in the game, it disappears.
I just assume as soon as one touches the other they fizzle out. I guess the top of the box gets cut a bit.
It’s like folding space. They basically occupy the same location. Its just two “sides” of a 2D plane. The portal can’t go into itself.
Worst case if it can it’s like bottle so they just flip positions and the whole thing reverses and the box just comes right out and the colors swap.
Nothing crazy.
Isn’t that how Stargates work?
The real question is what would happen if you tossed a normal size gate into an Ori supergate that were connected.
We know they CAN connect, since that’s how they block the supergate from this side. And they never established whether a connected gate can move through space without losing a connection, just that you have to know where you are in space to dial out, and two gates can’t activate when close together.
Didn’t they establish that a ship has to stop to connect? Wasn’t that a thing with Universe and the gate being ON the ship? So a gate can’t be actively moving while connected, I think. My memory is a bit fuzzy. And I feel like there’s still one time an exception is made, but it involves some one time use trickery.
Both portals should the same size. Fitting one in a box, means the box should be too big to fit in the other portal.
They’re ellipses. You put one on its side and it fits through.
It isn’t shown explicitly, but notice in the last panel with the box, the box is much wider and much shorter. It was rotated 90°.
THIS is what happens when you succeed in making an AI ( or Hoomin ) that can create MODERN KOANS.
You Bastard!!
