interpretation

the system read as a valley.

the place it generated

a valley

generated from the painting. walkable in every direction until it stops being walkable.

what happened inside

  1. 00:27entered a valley.
  2. 00:37walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:37the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:18kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 02:25same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

an outdoor landscape produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 201: recursive outside

still inside

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