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.
