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.
