interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:43entered a corridor that is also a staircase, in both directions.
  2. 01:44walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:52found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:34spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:40this is further out than before.

what he learned

paint the thing beyond the exit, not the exit.

why he painted the next one

unfinished sky moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 757: flat the box

still inside

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