interpretation

the system read as a valley.

the place it generated

a valley

generated from the painting. walkable in every direction until it stops being walkable.

what happened inside

  1. 00:33entered a valley.
  2. 00:40touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:33the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:11no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:06something about this is less like a box.

what he learned

size is not freedom, but it is something.

why he painted the next one

an outdoor landscape moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 028: a door in the wall

still inside

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