what happened inside

  1. 00:37entered shallow water.
  2. 01:37touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:26found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:02no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:53no change.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 445: doorless nothing

still inside

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