what happened inside

  1. 00:44entered a staircase.
  2. 01:18walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:33found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:04same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

stairs going up produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 462: wet window

still inside

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