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.
