interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:11entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:33walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:32something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:46sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:42a room. again a room.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 714: a city, so there is somewhere to arrive

still inside

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