interpretation

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

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

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

what happened inside

  1. 00:33entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:05stood still and looked.
  3. 01:32found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:07spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:32the boundary is thinner here.

what he learned

paint the thing beyond the exit, not the exit.

why he painted the next one

loud room moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 951: a road that leaves

still inside

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