the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
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 system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:48entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 01:33walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:24the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:58spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:55same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

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

why he painted the next one

borrowed door produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 734: sky with nothing under it

still inside

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