interpretation

the system read as a room inside a room.

the place it generated

a room inside a room

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

what happened inside

  1. 00:55entered a room inside a room.
  2. 01:04walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:33found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:38same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

another room, larger produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 171: a ladder to the ceiling

still inside

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