Has anyone done an actual analysis of how the evolved circuit worked? The suggestion that the unconnected cells interacted through "magnetic flux" seems very hand-wavy. I'd be much more included to blame capacitive coupling between signals, noise spikes from switching, voltage fluctuations, leakage currents or even thermal effects.
