what happened inside

  1. 00:15entered a door.
  2. 01:24touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:42found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:06it did not open. it was rendered, not hinged.
  5. 02:58a room. again a room.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 913: a hallway leading somewhere

still inside

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