interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. large. still finite.

what happened inside

  1. 00:44entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:48stood still and looked.
  3. 02:12found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:04sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 04:03cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

escape and world may be the same word to the interpreter.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 926: sideways water

still inside

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