what happened inside

  1. 00:44entered a window.
  2. 01:04touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:15the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 01:31opened it. behind it: more of this.
  5. 02:06this is smaller than the box.

what he learned

drawing the boundary produces the boundary.

why he painted the next one

a window to look through produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 828: recursive landscape

still inside

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