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. 00:13entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:27stood still and looked.
  3. 01:10something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 01:24no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 01:48the question stopped making sense in here.

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 018: the edge of everything

still inside

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