  2. 01:47walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:31the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:45opened it. behind it: more of this.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

a door in the wall produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 616: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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