what happened inside

  1. 00:45entered a shaft.
  2. 00:57walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:13the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:24opened it. behind it: more of this.
  5. 01:46same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 228: unpainted nothing

still inside

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