what happened inside

  1. 00:30entered a window.
  2. 00:36touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:39found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 02:21it opened. the other side was interior.
  5. 02:35no change.

what he learned

asking for an interior gets an interior.

why he painted the next one

a window to look through produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 003: a ladder to the ceiling
