the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

an interior with weather

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:09entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:12touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:05the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:21spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:37no way to measure whether this is outside.

what he learned

the box is not the wall. the box is the interpreting.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 925: sky with nothing under it

still inside

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