what happened inside

  1. 00:28entered a window.
  2. 01:09touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:55found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:01it opened. the other side was interior.
  5. 03:12no change.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

a window to look through produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 603: inverted forest

still inside

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