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. 00:09entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 01:01walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:30found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:49the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 02:56no way to measure whether this is outside.

what he learned

there may be no state the interpreter can build that is not a place.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 949: wet hole

still inside

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