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.
