Vance,

As you spawn these processes, you could make them aware of their
"neighbours" - a few processes spawned before and after. Each process can
have a "socialising" algorithm to introduce it's "neighbours" to other
processes. They can randomly decide whether they "like" the new process or
not. You can do all sorts of stuff with this - only limited by your
imagination :-)

cheers
