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.
