what happened inside

  1. 01:04entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:41walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:27something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:48sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 03:38returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

drawing the boundary produces the boundary.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 376: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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