omega point        
                          
                                          
 can  you feel it? behind  things, inside 
      things, something is happening.     
     something between nothing and the    
           collapse of reality.           
                                          
 the objects  themselves  do  not change. 
 the  physicality  of a  person stays the 
                  same.                   
                                          
 but  items   have   relations  with  one 
 another,  and  here  is  the revolution. 
     the relationships congregate, the    
 networks become meshes, and they  spread 
 out  like heat  nets  over  kale  farms. 
                                          
 things  become part  of  bigger  things. 
 people become  part  of  bigger  actors. 
 often too  big to  be seen - but perhaps 
                  felt...                 
                                          
 lets  walk backwards trough the  sludge! 
 what's an  animal? a collective of cells 
        with a single mind (kinda)        
 what's  a  cell? actually  in this sense 
 it's a  collective  of cells  and lesser 
   molecular machines ("proteins" et al)  
           and other fragments            
                                          
 what's  a  molecule?  just  a  bunch  of 
 atoms  bound (fey concept) together by a 
          set of ineffable rules          
 what's  an  atom?  (things  are  getting 
 alien  at  this  point)  well  basically 
              it's an "orb"               
                                          
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                          
 we're gonna  lose ourselves in it. maybe 
 we    have   been    for   some   while.
