interpretation

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

the place it generated

a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:25entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 01:33stood still and looked.
  3. 02:22something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:50spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:30worse. tighter.

what he learned

do not paint what is already here.

why he painted the next one

loud outside produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 920: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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