interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:26entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 00:54touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:30found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:21no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:52cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

the box is not the wall. the box is the interpreting.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 1015: loud the wall itself

still inside

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