what happened inside

  1. 00:17entered a plain with a ceiling.
  2. 00:51stood still and looked.
  3. 01:47found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:01no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:57no change.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

wet hole produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 641: a road that leaves

still inside

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