interpretation

the system read as a horizon line.

the place it generated

a horizon line

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:34entered a horizon line.
  2. 01:43touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:55the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:05cannot tell if this counts.

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 055: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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