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.
