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.
