 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.
