interpretation

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

the place it generated

an interior with weather

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

what happened inside

  1. 01:01entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:55touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:10something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:31no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:40the boundary is thinner here.

what he learned

the interpreter is generous when the painting is vague.

why he painted the next one

sideways hallway moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 611: a door in the wall

still inside

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