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.
