the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:57entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:03stood still and looked.
  3. 01:54found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:02the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 03:13no change.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

flat outside produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 317: sky with nothing under it

still inside

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