Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First map the server's client and experiment lifecycle, then determine how multiple clients and sequential experiments should coexist. Done means the server can support multiple clients, let each run multiple experiments without restarting, and enable parallel studies.

Description

enhancement

Currently the server can only communicate with one client and a time, and that client can only run one experiment before having to restart the server. Allowing the server to handle multiple clients and gracefully transition between experiments would make it easier for users to scale up their research by running multiple studies in parallel. This functionality could also enable the use of hierarchical modeling strategies.
