interpretation

the system read as shallow water.

the place it generated

shallow water

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:49entered shallow water.
  2. 01:59walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:21something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:33no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:14the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

there may be no state the interpreter can build that is not a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 019: sideways outside

still inside

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