what happened inside

  1. 00:36entered shallow water.
  2. 01:16touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:25light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 03:24kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 04:14cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

the box is not the wall. the box is the interpreting.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 1081: flat the box

still inside

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