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.
