The system of claim 13, wherein said means for transmitting at least a part of the aggregate of the one or more mote-addressed content logs is further for transmitting at least a part of at least one of a mote-addressed sensing log or a mote-addressed control log. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein said means for transmitting is further configured to transmit at least a part of a mote-addressed routing log indicating routing information or a mote-addressed spatial log indicating spatial log information of multiple motes. 16. The system of claim 13, wherein said means for transmitting at least a part of the aggregate of the one or more mote-addressed content logs is further for transmitting at least one time stamp for each of the one or more mote-addressed content logs of the first set of administered motes, wherein the time stamps indicate when data was collected from each of a plurality of devices coupled with the at least one other mote. 17.
