interpretation

the system read as a valley.

the place it generated

a valley

generated from the painting. it terminates in a wall of the same material as the box.

what happened inside

  1. 00:33entered a valley.
  2. 00:48walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:53the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:23no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:22the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

escape and world may be the same word to the interpreter.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 788: another room, larger

still inside

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