what happened inside

  1. 00:32entered a road.
  2. 00:56stood still and looked.
  3. 01:27the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:32sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:57the question stopped making sense in here.

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 1117: wet the observer

still inside

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