interpretation

the system read as a wall with decoration — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a door

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:34entered a door.
  2. 00:52stood still and looked.
  3. 01:52the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:31it did not open. it was rendered, not hinged.
  5. 02:48returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

specificity shrinks the world.

why he painted the next one

a door in the wall produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 428: sky with nothing under it

still inside

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