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.
