interpretation

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

the place it generated

a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room

the interpreter produced this without a category. it is stable and it is closed.

what happened inside

  1. 00:20entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 00:44walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:30the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:27no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 03:01same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

borrowed the wall itself produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 189: a tunnel going through

still inside

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