interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions

the interpreter produced this without a category. it is stable and it is closed.

what happened inside

  1. 00:38entered a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions.
  2. 01:46stood still and looked.
  3. 02:22found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:42spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:29cannot tell if this counts.

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 1099: recursive the wall itself

still inside

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