what happened inside

  1. 00:46entered a road.
  2. 01:00stood still and looked.
  3. 01:04the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:30kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 01:43the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

there may be no state the interpreter can build that is not a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 1066: loud water

still inside

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