did the (G)god(s) make us or did we make the (G)god(s)? where did it start? where did you start? the aliens are already here. they never not been here. they will never be here. we are the aliens, speaking through thousands channels of information through allspace. new perspective is alien. each window a world. we are one and all.
(as if, identifying an advanced extraterrestrial species, we could understand anything about them. their jokes zipping lightspeed criss the sky whoosh.)
there's not a secret book with the alien revelation. it's in all the books. it's in the shape of the spaces between the lines, the voids like worms waving up and down the pages.  you can see the robots crawling through compression artifacts sometimes, unaware of an orthogonal existence.  let them be.   be still like professional wildlife shadow people photographer and make friends with the .

I've Got a Feeling. 
A Chaotic Vastness of Feelings. 
We are Trading them and sharing them in waves and waves. 
It's a bit Like an interconnected oscillatory set of Systems:
Shells within Shells of Organized structure. 
A Strange Great Beast.

wtf with the hate, haters?  for your survival, for survival of human species, maybe recognize that divergent opinions are merely individual vectors in a complex system. individually, too, building coalitions is more advantageous than snubbing potential allies.  ...and give what you can, because then you are owed advantage.  even paying it forward, anonymously, gains you environmental security.  might help the overall shipworthiness of the little multicellular blob you in.
 >>>anyway these perceived categories are such bullshit; left/right, capitalism/socialism/ communism, whatever.    we don't- we can't have a free market, yet the invisible hand concept is always present, in some way, as an aspect, as a functionality, everywhere, in the history of life, if not the universe.  and people been stinking commie sjw's since the cro magnon discovered weed, at least.  opposites are inextricably linked, different views of the same amoeba, yawn.  get with the program.  don't be racist, mkay?

agency can be attributed to any scale of existence, even in scientific writing, even among those who strenuously deny any teleology.  is everything alive? or perhaps those who experience the sense of being an agent/ being an entity, cannot define what having agency actually is.  how do you define something using only the thing that is within the boundary of the definition?   are we just "projecting" properties of being onto matter?  or is matter projecting the sense of being onto us?  

Nothing discoverable can be considered to be a separate entity.
Your input is someone else's output.
Boundaries don't even exist.
For us, functionally, the universe is one being, quasi-infinitely folded into itself.

so much soup;
and intertwined agendas;
magnetic, electric, informational. 
when agency is evident everywhere,
does anyone have agency?

is the universe ok?
what have we made real
and compared to what?

On the hollow hive planet ...signals from the core reflect signals from space. 
... creates a halo of shifted domains.  Pools of syntropy orbiting an energy nexus/ plasmoid complex.
