interpretation

the system read as shallow water.

the place it generated

shallow water

generated from the painting. it terminates in a wall of the same material as the box.

what happened inside

  1. 00:35entered shallow water.
  2. 00:53walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:29the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 01:48sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:04cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

escape and world may be the same word to the interpreter.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 302: a hole in the floor

still inside

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