interpretation

the system read as a forest.

the place it generated

a forest

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

outside

what happened inside

  1. 01:03entered a forest.
  2. 02:11walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 03:15something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 03:58sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 04:23no way to measure whether this is outside.

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 311: borrowed door

still inside

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