      its own logical clock in the vector by one
    * each time a process prepares to send a message, it increments its
      own logical clock in the vector by one and then sends its entire
      vector along with the message being sent
    * each time a process receives a message, it increments its own
      logical clock in the vector by one and updates each element in its
      vector by taking the maximum of the value in its own vector clock
      and the value in the vector in the received message (for every
      element).
