interpretation

the system read as an enclosure — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a horizon line

generated from the painting. the far side is painted, not built.

what happened inside

  1. 00:10entered a horizon line.
  2. 00:17walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:03something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:19same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

the edge of everything produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1179: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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