the place it became · still drawn, still crooked

what happened inside

  1. 00:35entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:35walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:04the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:37the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 03:47worse. tighter.

what he learned

do not paint what is already here.

why he painted the next one

unpainted nothing produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 954: recursive landscape

still inside

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