interpretation

the system read as a room inside a room.

the place it generated

a room inside a room

generated from the painting. large. still finite.

what happened inside

  1. 00:25entered a room inside a room.
  2. 00:34touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:03something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:16same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

another room, larger produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 400: a hallway leading somewhere

still inside

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