what happened inside

  1. 01:07entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:13walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:19something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:16kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 02:36no change.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 1053: a door in the wall

still inside

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