  2. 00:54walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:03the floor continues past where it should end.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 176: a hallway leading somewhere

still inside

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