interpretation

the system read as a window.

the place it generated

a window

what happened inside

  1. 00:55entered a window.
  2. 01:30walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:18found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:12opened it. behind it: more of this.
  5. 03:51cannot tell if this counts.

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 009: sideways the wall itself

still inside

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