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.
