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.
