what happened inside

  1. 00:35entered a staircase.

  4. 02:27same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

stairs going up produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1186: doorless hole

still inside

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