what happened inside

  1. 00:28entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:35touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:37the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:36spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:45same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

unfinished door produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1025: recursive window

still inside

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