what happened inside

  1. 00:14entered shallow water.
  2. 00:45walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:38found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:50no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:33same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 307: a ladder to the ceiling

still inside

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