the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:29entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 01:19walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:35the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:24no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:40something about this is less like a box.

what he learned

paint the thing beyond the exit, not the exit.

why he painted the next one

doorless the paint moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 633: inverted outside

still inside

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