what happened inside

  1. 00:06entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:00touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:45the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:08sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 03:16the 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 792: a hole in the floor

still inside

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