the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

an interior with weather

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:36entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:08walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:14something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:31the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 03:14something about this is less like a box.

what he learned

size is not freedom, but it is something.

why he painted the next one

unfinished road moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 894: a ladder to the ceiling

still inside

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