what happened inside

  1. 01:06entered shallow water.
  2. 01:25walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:39something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:51no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:42a room. again a room.

what he learned

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

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 272: half-erased nothing

still inside

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