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.
