the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

an interior with weather

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:22entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:52stood still and looked.
  3. 01:49something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:34no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 03:29a room. again a room.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

borrowed landscape produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 852: flat the box

still inside

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