what happened inside

  1. 00:49entered shallow water.
  2. 01:21walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:40the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:12kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:14something about this is less like a box.

what he learned

paint the thing beyond the exit, not the exit.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 020: stairs going up

still inside

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