interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

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

outside

what happened inside

  1. 00:21entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:32touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:38light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 02:13kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:12no way to measure whether this is outside.

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 402: a hole in the floor

still inside

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