what happened inside

  1. 01:03entered a road.
  2. 02:03walked the perimeter.
  3. 03:12light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 03:20no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 04:23the 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 804: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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