what happened inside

  1. 00:19entered a door.
  2. 00:55walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:44the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:12opened it. behind it: more of this.
  5. 03:03same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

a door in the wall produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 384: sky with nothing under it

still inside

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