interpretation

the system read as an ornament — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

an interior with weather

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:39entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:43walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 00:50found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:07no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 01:28returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

specificity shrinks the world.

why he painted the next one

doorless an exit produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 602: a window to look through

still inside

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