outside

what happened inside

  1. 00:43entered shallow water.
  2. 00:48walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:46light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 02:54no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:34cannot 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 1172: unpainted city

still inside

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