the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

a plain with a ceiling

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:56entered a plain with a ceiling.
  2. 01:33touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:05something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:19spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:13same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

flat the box produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1160: a hole in the floor

still inside

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