what happened inside

  1. 00:32entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:30touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:04something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:50kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:26the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

the box is not the wall. the box is the interpreting.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 827: a window to look through

still inside

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