Living Architecture Spring 2007 Pratt

I'm interested in trying to implement some sort of primitive "wireless" network between multiple components. I'm imagining some sort of ultrasonic broadcaster/sensor: whereas a wired connection is largely ignorant of distance and direction, I think it would be interesting to explore the possibilities built in to the limitations of directionality and distance. The interaction with a single component could then be spread out on this network, creating position, gradients, contingencies, interference, etc etc etc.

I'm concerned that multiple processors would be a problem.
