I throw the box into the corner of the room with a high pitched scream of terror. Then I run away to try to find thermite.
Edit: then I throw the ashes into a black hole, and trigger a True Vacuum colapse just in case.
I think backing away slowly and quietly is the better play. The box might feast off your screams or sense your fear.
Then again, screams might hurt it. That's the problem with true radical uncertainty - if you're sufficiently uncertain that you can't even conjecture about meta-probabilities, how do you know if ANY action (or lack of action) might have a net positive or negative outcome?
