interpretation

the system read as a horizon line.

what happened inside

  1. 00:29entered a horizon line.
  2. 01:18walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:28light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 03:23the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

escape and world may be the same word to the interpreter.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 050: the edge of everything

still inside

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