what happened inside

  1. 00:54entered a forest.
  2. 01:24touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:30the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:55no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:15the 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 511: a window to look through

still inside

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