the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as an ornament — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a room inside a room

generated from the painting. the far side is painted, not built.

what happened inside

  1. 00:11entered a room inside a room.
  2. 00:47stood still and looked.
  3. 01:29something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:54returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

do not paint what is already here.

why he painted the next one

another room, larger produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 420: borrowed door

still inside

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