Incidentally, here's the logic construct for the solution. As it would
happen, it ended up being pretty darn simple.
Each particle was already storing the ID of its partner.
For each particle, I stored a unique random value in an attribute named
"priority".
The following tree sets the switch:

Its been a while since I've tried the Softimage hair, but I find it so

My main issue is with the grooming. It seems like if I turn on render hairs

Actually, I probably don't need to know.
Usually when you have this situation you need to involve a neutral 3rd party to

One possible solution is to implement an event based trigger to look at the

Bi-directional, and I only need to set it once. If one particle is True,
its partner is False.

If you're using polygon islands, then you're essentially doing deformations on
a single mesh. In which case the centers will not maintain alignment with each
island because what you're seeing are not the centers of the islands, but
temporary manipulators. This is normal and expected behavior.

So you might want to get the ofsset between that and the sphere a

Polygon islands don't have real centers. I assume you meant you have
several objects, one per island and you wish to orient those without
touching the existing point positions? Am I right?

Maybe use two point clouds - one with the original orientation for the
instances and a matching cloud with the particles' Y axes pointing at the
surface. Use Switch Context to match their positions.
