interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

what happened inside

  1. 00:38entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:04walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:54found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:58sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:27a room. again a room.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 554: another room, larger

still inside

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