an overcast field

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:30entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:54stood still and looked.
  3. 01:00the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:06sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:30this is smaller than the box.

what he learned

specificity shrinks the world.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 1092: unfinished the wall itself

still inside

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