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.
