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.
