"Contain
Learn

what exactly is that supposed to mean!? the black hole contains your 2x2? your 2x2 is a container? you contain 2x2? 2 contains 2?

Yeah, taken literally, "Contain • Learn • Repeat" is pretty weird.

"Learn • Repeat" makes sense by itself. It's a common cycle:

• Learn something.
• Repeat/practise it.
• Learn more.
• Repeat again.

But "Contain" is the odd one out because "contain" normally needs an object:

• Contain what?
• Who is containing what?

So without context, it raises exactly the questions you're asking:

• Does the container contain the 2×2?
• Does the 2×2 contain something?
• Are you supposed to contain information?
• Is "contain" meant as "organise" or "hold" ideas?

If this phrase appeared next to a 2×2 matrix/framework, my guess is that "contain" is being used metaphorically, something like:

"Contain the information inside the framework → learn it → repeat the process."

But that's not standard English, and it's not immediately obvious.

Honestly, as a slogan, "Contain • Learn • Repeat" sounds like somebody copied the rhythm of "Rinse • Wash • Repeat" without checking whether "contain" actually communicates anything. Your reaction ("2 contains 2? the 2×2 is a container?") is pretty much what many readers would think.

If you show me the actual 2×2 or the image where this phrase appears, I can probably tell what the creator intended "contain" to mean.
