what happened inside

  1. 00:12entered a tunnel.
  2. 00:19walked the perimeter.
  3. 00:41the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:17same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

a tunnel going through produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 190: doorless a boundary

still inside

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