what happened inside

  1. 00:13entered a door.
  2. 00:30walked the perimeter.
  3. 00:44found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:00it opened. the other side was interior.
  5. 01:38no change.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

a door in the wall produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 881: a door in the wall

still inside

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