interpretation

the system read as a floor plan — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a plain with a ceiling

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:40entered a plain with a ceiling.
  2. 00:44walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:27the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 01:32the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 01:53returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

specificity shrinks the world.

why he painted the next one

flat window produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 760: a city, so there is somewhere to arrive

still inside

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