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

what happened inside

  1. 00:45entered a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions.
  2. 01:26stood still and looked.
  3. 01:40the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:22the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 03:09no way to measure whether this is outside.

what he learned

there may be no state the interpreter can build that is not a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 365: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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