interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. large. still finite.

what happened inside

  1. 00:27entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:07stood still and looked.
  3. 02:05something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:14no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:49no way to measure whether this is outside.

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 406: a city, so there is somewhere to arrive

still inside

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