interpretation

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

the place it generated

a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

very large ladder produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 485: flat hole

still inside

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