what happened inside

  1. 00:19entered a valley.
  2. 00:50stood still and looked.
  3. 01:54something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:53kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:25same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

an outdoor landscape produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 123: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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