interpretation

the system read as a smaller box — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

what happened inside

  1. 00:41entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:26stood still and looked.
  3. 02:33something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 03:07kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 04:15worse. tighter.

what he learned

drawing the boundary produces the boundary.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 086: a hallway leading somewhere

still inside

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