what happened inside

  1. 00:43entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:07walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:01found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:09no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:53cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 763: a road that leaves

still inside

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