interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

what happened inside

  1. 00:33entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:36stood still and looked.
  3. 02:35something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 03:16no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:29no way to measure whether this is outside.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 107: a tunnel going through

still inside

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