Yeah, the biological model is much more messy. I think we can take some lessons from it while still enforcing a "God Mode" on our local machine, ensuring that a compatible process is always running to receive the message.

Though, as GP stated earlier, this does make some more sense from a distributed networking perspective, where no machine has control over the existence of its peers. In that case, having a setup where the message is sent out on a service bus to be snatched up by a compatible listener is closer to the biological analogy.
