interpretation

the system read as shallow water.

the place it generated

shallow water

generated from the painting. walkable in every direction until it stops being walkable.

outside

what happened inside

  1. 00:42entered shallow water.
  2. 01:06walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:09something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:34kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:24cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 398: unpainted hallway

still inside

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