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.
