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 flat grey extent with one object in it

the interpreter produced this without a category. it is stable and it is closed.

what happened inside

  1. 00:32entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:07touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:22found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:32spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:22this is smaller than the box.

what he learned

do not paint what is already here.

why he painted the next one

unpainted outside produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 759: flat window

still inside

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