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.
