interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:39entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:27walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:42found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:11sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 03:17the 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 415: a hallway leading somewhere

still inside

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