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.
