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.
