the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

an interior with weather

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:20entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:57touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:38something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:45no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:53worse. tighter.

what he learned

drawing the boundary produces the boundary.

why he painted the next one

very large forest produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 686: a window to look through

still inside

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