the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as a smaller box — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a room inside a room

generated from the painting. large. still finite.

what happened inside

  1. 00:29entered a room inside a room.
  2. 01:36walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:58the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:51returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

drawing the boundary produces the boundary.

why he painted the next one

another room, larger produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 234: the edge of everything

still inside

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