interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

an overcast field

generated from the painting. walkable in every direction until it stops being walkable.

what happened inside

  1. 00:43entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:02walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:57found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:12no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:00the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 1006: a hole in the floor

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
