interpretation

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

the place it generated

a place with the geometry of a hallway and the light of a field

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:51entered a place with the geometry of a hallway and the light of a field.
  2. 01:26walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:39found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:07the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 03:13the boundary is thinner here.

what he learned

the further out a painting looks, the further out the world starts.

why he painted the next one

loud the wall itself moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

→ WORLD 1016: a road that leaves

still inside

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