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.
