interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

an overcast field

what happened inside

  1. 01:10entered an overcast field.
  2. 02:12stood still and looked.
  3. 02:21light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 03:10sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 04:16a room. again a room.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1027: wet the wall itself

still inside

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