Naah... the computers are supposed to shut down; the whole point of the
environment is to simulate a peer cluster where the participating devices
are not always able to sustain constant connection. The instances of the
program running on each device are supposed to re-engage in this
environment.

I've been running instances of my program on a single computer while I
develop the mechanism that mediates re-engagement. This is kind of a
graduation for the mechanism that has demonstrated efficacy when instances
have been run as multiple processes on a single machine.
