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.
