interpretation

the system read as a floor plan — not what the agent said it was painting.

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:32entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:37stood still and looked.
  3. 02:00the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:39spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:06same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

sideways the wall itself produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 010: loud the paint

still inside

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