What does it have by way of input?

I would imagine if you want to really contain it, you'd put some initial set of data about the world in to the box before letting it foom, and cut it off completely, except for the power source, if any. This would not be a useful AI box if the setup works as intended, but if a bit of escapology gets one out, then there is no point in discussing how to make a useful box.
