OK... It is all I can do to avoid a segue into Soylent Green analogies...

But yes, given the other meaning of execution, I agree with you with
respect to how to probably handle the death and garbage collection. I
suspect we might adopt more of an cellular apotosis model
<http://evolutionofcomputing.org/Multicellular/Apoptosis.html> where
agents remove themselves unless they constantly receieve a
keep-alive-message from other agents. There's also the idea that there
should be a mechanism where agents will migrate away from the edge of
the network where users are to lower cost, high latency parts of the
network when they are less in demand - a kind of cold storage.
