Restrictions in Life of Pi can be liberating because when Pi was in the boat with Richard parker he decided that he needed to stay away from him to stay alive, Because of this he built the other, smaller life boat and let it trail along behind the bigger life boat. This later came to save his life because it added anchor to the life boat making it so that it went the same direction as the waves. This restriction also allowed for Pi to look at Richard Parker from a distance, allowing him to later establish his territory and figure out ways to tame him.
The time Pi's father showed him the tiger being fed the goat also acted as another restriction to Pi. This added a greater sense of caution and fear when looking and interacting with the tiger later in the book made Pi liberated from the constant danger by being more cautious when taming Richard parker which then led him to surviving throughout the book.
