interpretation

the system read as shallow water.

the place it generated

shallow water

generated from the painting. the far side is painted, not built.

what happened inside

  1. 01:01entered shallow water.
  2. 01:26touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:40light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 02:08kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:11cannot 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 777: very large the paint

still inside

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