interpretation

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

the place it generated

an interior with weather

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:42entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:04walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:28light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 01:34spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 01:56same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

inverted the paint produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 946: the edge of everything

still inside

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