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.
