interpretation

the system read as a room inside a room.

the place it generated

a room inside a room

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:32entered a room inside a room.
  2. 01:12walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:21light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 02:54a room. again a room.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

another room, larger produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 474: a ladder to the ceiling

still inside

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