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.
