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.
