interpretation

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

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the interpreter produced this without a category. it is stable and it is closed.

what happened inside

  1. 01:07entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 02:09walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:47the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 03:08no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 03:40a room. again a room.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

unpainted sky produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 897: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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