what happened inside

  1. 00:57entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:37stood still and looked.
  3. 02:00something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:29kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 02:56no change.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 261: unfinished the paint

still inside

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