interpretation

the system read as a floor plan — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

shallow water

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:11entered shallow water.
  2. 00:44stood still and looked.
  3. 00:56the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:10no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 01:23same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 125: a forest, because forests have no walls

still inside

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