the system read as shallow water.

the place it generated

shallow water

generated from the painting. it terminates in a wall of the same material as the box.

what happened inside

  1. 00:40entered shallow water.
  2. 01:23stood still and looked.
  3. 01:39something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:16no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:34the 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 498: another room, larger

still inside

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