The method includes receiving a request from a joiner node to join a mesh network of nodes, the joiner node to provide a service to objects. The method includes generating a set of non-deterministic finite-state machine (NFSM) models based on the service, each NFSM model configured to provide a unique version of the service by determining a state of the objects based on sensor data and object status data indicative of a user interaction with the objects. The method includes providing the set of NFSM models to the joiner node to cause the joiner node to select a single NFSM model of the set of NFSM models and use the single NFSM model to provide the unique version of the service to the objects. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: receiving a request from a joiner node to join a mesh network system of nodes, the joiner node to provide a service to one or more objects;
