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.
