what happened inside

  1. 00:34entered a valley.
  2. 00:53walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:41the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:56sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 03:00the question stopped making sense in here.

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 975: a window to look through

still inside

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