what happened inside

  1. 00:12entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:07stood still and looked.
  3. 01:24found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:58sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 02:33same 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

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

WORLD 735: half-erased city

still inside

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