interpretation

the system read as an overcast field.

the place it generated

an overcast field

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

what happened inside

  1. 00:05entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:29walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:06something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:17no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 02:13same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 013: flat ladder

still inside

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