interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. large. still finite.

what happened inside

  1. 00:42entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:28touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:18the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 03:22kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:51no way to measure whether this is outside.

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 566: loud outside

still inside

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