the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a plain with a ceiling

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 01:03entered a plain with a ceiling.
  2. 01:30stood still and looked.
  3. 01:53the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:49spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:56cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 139: wet landscape

still inside

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