the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:46entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:37walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:24something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 02:44no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:57cannot tell if this counts.

what he learned

escape and world may be the same word to the interpreter.

why he painted the next one

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

WORLD 988: wet the box

still inside

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