what happened inside

  1. 00:21entered a staircase.
  2. 01:29touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:27the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 02:44same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

the system builds what is drawn, including its limits.

why he painted the next one

stairs going up produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 995: an ocean, which is not a room

still inside

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