the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

an interior with weather

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:59entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:04touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:51the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:48spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 03:36the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 983: wet a boundary

still inside

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