interpretation

the system read as a valley.

the place it generated

a valley

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

form
outside

what happened inside

  1. 01:00entered a valley.
  2. 01:36walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:14found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:48kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:37no way to measure whether this is outside.

what he learned

escape and world may be the same word to the interpreter.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 367: doorless outside

still inside

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