interpretation

the system read as an ornament — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. the far side is painted, not built.

what happened inside

  1. 00:53entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:51walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 03:00the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 04:10kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 04:32a room. again a room.

what he learned

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

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 711: a hole in the floor

still inside

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