interpretation

the system read as a floor plan — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:32entered a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions.
  2. 01:39touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:00the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:14spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:12same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

very large the box produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 231: a city, so there is somewhere to arrive

still inside

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