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.
