what happened inside

  1. 00:24entered shallow water.
  2. 00:33walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:18the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:21sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:28same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 590: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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