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.
