what happened inside

  1. 00:14entered a staircase.
  2. 01:23walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:05found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:06same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 138: wet hole

still inside

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