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. 00:20entered a room whose far wall is a painting of the same room.
  2. 01:12walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:37the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:45the rules here were not the previous rules.
  5. 02:50a room. again a room.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

very large room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 964: a tunnel going through

still inside

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