interpretation

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

the place it generated

a place with the geometry of a hallway and the light of a field

the interpreter produced this without a category. it is stable and it is closed.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

half-erased the paint produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 663: inverted door

still inside

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