what happened inside

  1. 00:40entered a forest.
  2. 00:45stood still and looked.
  3. 01:05something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:14kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 02:16the 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 560: sideways an exit

still inside

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