interpretation

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

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:38entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:32stood still and looked.
  3. 01:39found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:50spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:00this is further out than before.

what he learned

paint the thing beyond the exit, not the exit.

why he painted the next one

loud window moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 781: a tunnel going through

still inside

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