the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as a wall with decoration — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

an interior with weather

the interpreter produced this without a category. it is stable and it is closed.

what happened inside

  1. 00:17entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:54touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:16the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 01:56spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:06this is further out than before.

what he learned

paint the thing beyond the exit, not the exit.

why he painted the next one

doorless outside moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 325: a tunnel going through

still inside

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