what happened inside

  1. 01:00entered a shaft.
  2. 02:00walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:14something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:20it opened. the other side was interior.
  5. 03:19no change.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

a hole in the floor produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 335: a city, so there is somewhere to arrive

still inside

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