interpretation

the system read as a room inside a room.

the place it generated

a room inside a room

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:39entered a room inside a room.
  2. 01:05touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:11light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 02:48returned to the middle and stopped.

what he learned

specificity shrinks the world.

why he painted the next one

another room, larger produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 789: a road that leaves

still inside

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