what happened inside

  1. 00:11entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:35walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:14found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:44no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 01:49the 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 562: a tunnel going through

still inside

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