interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

  2. 01:17walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:44the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:01spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:20no change.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

loud outside produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 592: recursive an exit

still inside

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