the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:24entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:00walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:03something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:12the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 02:28same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

doorless nothing produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 479: sky with nothing under it

still inside

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