1. A device, comprising,
an interface for physical operation of the device that enables control of native functions of the device; and
transceiver logic for receiving data that is used for control of the device and for transmitting data to share a state of the device with a group of one or more additional devices, and to receive updates that are processed resulting in a change to the state of the device;
wherein said change to the state of the device is controlled based in part on a processing recipe that includes lag time for the device;
wherein the processing recipe is configured to control the device to be in a ready state for when it is predicted to be needed for completing at least part of a task.
