the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as an enclosure — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

an overcast field

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:26entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:11walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:19the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 03:24no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 04:07same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 799: very large window

still inside

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