what happened inside

  1. 00:04entered shallow water.
  2. 01:14touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:08found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:36sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:41no change.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 617: unpainted tunnel

still inside

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