what happened inside

  1. 01:02entered a shaft.
  2. 01:53stood still and looked.
  3. 01:59light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 02:55it opened. the other side was interior.
  5. 03:28same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

a hole in the floor produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 994: stairs going up

still inside

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