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.
