You wake up trapped in a large cubic room. The number on the wall is 004. There appear to be passages in each of the six faces to another room. What do you do?

You are wearing a nondescript grey shirt and trousers, as well as black boots. You have nothing else with you but your wits. Light seems to permeate the walls of the room, giving it a red glow.

dude the room is a cube. wlog, we can orient it in R3 such that one wall each is facing due north, south, east, west, up, and down. i pick the south door. the downward door is down. i want south.

I'd hang around in the cube until things happen but not too long cause I have ADD. If nothing happens then I'll pull out thread from my grey pants and tie that to all those door knobs except for the one that I randomly picked (and mark all those doors that I didn't explore) and start walking for food and music... The best case scenario, I'm warm, not hungry and I'm a cat.
