I'm not sure if this is going to forestall or foment heated discussion about what is or isn't a sandwich, but it's certainly an attempt to codify what constitutes sandwichness:
Sure there is, you just need to look at the evolution of language, not DNA. The common ancestor is a meal eaten by the Earl of Sandwich in the 1760s, “salt beef between two slices of toasted bread”.
Yet even their "Anarchist" (lower right) square has a rectangular item of food, with a starchy, finger-friendly exterior around a less starchy & finger-friendly interior.

I’m a big fan of the cube rule except for its salad category. The idea that a frittata and a bowl of tomato soup are equivalent is hard to swallow (pun intended).
Fun fact: Some of the sandwiches seem to be rotating in the opposite direction. This is due to an optical illusion called the "Silhouette Illusion" [0], first discovered in 2003. If you focus hard on a sandwich and blur your eyes slightly, you can make it change which direction it rotates.
The dancer illusion is as though you are observing the dancer from a long distance away through a telescope of some sort where things like her hands do not appear to vary in relative size as she turns and they become nearer/farther from us.
It also works on translucent objects and in a different form on the mask illusion, where a rotation depends on whether you believe the mask is bent away from or toward you.
Basically anytime that depth information is obscured.
Imagine opening Uber Eats and looking for a restaurant to order from. You are scrolling and they all look the same, but suddenly... What is that? That can't be right, this one has spinning pics of all the food they serve? HECK YEAH I'm ordering from that one
That's a company blog I would actually follow. I want to read a 4 page post about series-c funding to capture even more rotating sandwiches. I want to read about their hiring practices and how they use scrum to organize their sandwich projects.
Should a tear occur such that the bread around a hot dog separates into two discrete pieces, it is then a sandwich. Therefore a hot dog is a potential sandwich in the same way that an egg is a potential chicken.

1) Substance - Indivisible, elemental food. Example: Vanilla ice cream, no toppings
2) Pizza - Monobreadular, arranged. Example: Nigiri sushi
3) Sandwich - Multibreadular, arranged. Example: Big Mac
4) Salad - Separable, not arranged. Example: Salad with croutons

(disclaimer, I wrote this spec)
Hot dogs are categorically tacos.
Burritos typically begin life as a "calzone", but experience most of their brief lives through the lens of a "soup/salad in a bread bowl".
Sometimes people prefer to fold a burrito into the "sushi" pattern. Depends on your mental image of a burrito.

This isn't true as the spinning dancer illusion only works on silhouettes and not full color images.
