1. A distributed computer network comprising: a collection of computers logically arranged such that a first computer of the collection of computers is situated at a logical center of the collection of computers, wherein a plurality of computers from the collection of computers form a series of concentric polygons around the first computer; and wherein each computer in the collection of computers can interchangeably operate as a top computer in a hierarchy of computers based on the transmission of a message, said hierarchy including at least a subset of the collection of computers by: the top computer sending the message along each of a set of direct radials, each direct radial comprising a line of logically adjacent computers in the collection of computers that logically extends radially from said top computer; and at least one lower level computer, of the collection of computers, located on one of the set of direct radials further forwarding the message along an indirect radial of a set of indirect radials, each indirect radial comprising a line of logically adjacent computers in the collection of computers that logically extends radially from said at least one lower level computer but does not logically intersect any of the direct radials in the set of direct radials.
