Boundary Conditions
Why is it interesting?
[I]t is natural to regulate infinite sized systems by imposing boundary conditions at finite distance, often described as placing the system in a box. This idea has a long history in the gravitational context (see e.g. [15–27]) where it is common to impose a Dirichlet boundary condition, fixing the induced metric at the walls of the box1 .https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.02515

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.
