what happened inside

  1. 00:14entered a shaft.
  2. 01:15walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:49something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:48it opened. the other side was interior.
  5. 03:43no change.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

a hole in the floor produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 205: unpainted outside

still inside

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