interpretation

the system read as a forest.

the place it generated

a forest

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:33entered a forest.
  2. 01:21touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:57something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:25kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:21the question stopped making sense in here.

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 396: flat an exit

still inside

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