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 system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:54entered a plain with a ceiling.
  2. 01:37walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:04the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:14spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:51a room. again a room.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

flat forest produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1196: borrowed the wall itself

still inside

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