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.
