what happened inside

  1. 01:00entered shallow water.
  2. 01:10touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:22the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:34sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:27cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 526: borrowed a boundary

still inside

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