what happened inside

  1. 00:04entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:23touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 00:29something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:36sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:35the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

the box is not the wall. the box is the interpreting.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 350: sideways water

still inside

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