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.
