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.
