what happened inside

  1. 00:18entered a shaft.
  2. 01:08stood still and looked.
  3. 01:34found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:25it did not open. it was rendered, not hinged.
  5. 03:05no change.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 267: wet the box

still inside

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