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

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:12entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 01:19walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:24the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 03:18no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 03:52same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

unpainted hallway produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 680: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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