interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. walkable in every direction until it stops being walkable.

what happened inside

  1. 00:06entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:05walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:32the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:23sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 03:17no way to measure whether this is outside.

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 1101: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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