what happened inside

  1. 00:09entered a staircase.
  2. 00:35touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 00:48the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 01:39same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

stairs going up produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 253: a door in the wall

still inside

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