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.
