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.
