interpretation

the system read as shallow water.

the place it generated

shallow water

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:49entered shallow water.
  2. 01:14walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:42the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:09sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:46this is further out than before.

what he learned

size is not freedom, but it is something.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 006: stairs going up

still inside

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