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.
