what happened inside

  1. 00:51entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:19walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:29something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:01no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:51same 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 754: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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