'''justification:''' A visual inspection of each of the nodes' cost functions shows less and less hill climbing as step number progresses (and temperature decreases).  Since the number of this Cost Function density is periodic in step number, equalling about 7 in total (out of ten).  The 7 is a result of the information from each node being taken before the end of the run. (NOTE: the claim about temperature versus the costfunction will need to be tested.)
