what happened inside

  1. 00:13entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:19walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 00:32found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:11kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 01:23a room. again a room.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 953: unpainted nothing

still inside

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