Overall, the order of operations where [] denotes adjacent particles and (), copy operations, is Method 1: loop{*RAY[conductor1 life 3] -> CONV[conductor2 life 3] -> BTRY[conductor2 life 0] -> DRAY[conductor3 life 3](conductor1 = conductor2 life 4)}. Method 2: loop{DRAY[conductor3 life 3](conductor1 = conductor2 life 3) -> CONV[conductor 2 life 3] -> BTRY[conductor2 life 0] -> *RAY[conductor1 life 3]}.

The DCER is actually a PTA or "Power Transmission Apparatus" in that it is responsible for _both_ resetting (CONV) and sparking (BTRY) conductor elements. BTRY, responsible only for the sparking aspect, would be an example of an STA although ARAY, CONV(SPRK) and CRAY(SPRK) + INWR can be used for this purpose.
-
These are the two fundamental aspects of DRAY Charged Element Relay (DCER in SCHM terminology, a type of STA or "Spark Transmission Apparatus") operation and setup.
-
(cont'd) Thus, when it comes time for the DRAY to be processed, it copies down a life 3 conductor that was reset in the _previous frame_. As a result, once it comes time later in the _same frame_, the active element will actually have a life 3 conductor next to it and can propagate.
-
(cont'd) To do this, the conductor to be copied must be reset _after_ the DRAY propagates, hence the differing placement of BTRY and CONV relative to the DRAY. If the conductor is reset _after_ the DRAY propagates, the DRAY will not copy it until the next frame when its life becomes 3. Because of this, DRAY cannot be adjacent to the conductor it is copying or it will be activated by it.
-
Method 2: If DRAY is above the active element, it is processed first. If it copies a conductor of life 4 to the location of the active element below it, once it comes time for the active element to process _later_ in the _same frame_, the active element will have a life 4 conductor near it and thus cannot propagate. Thus, we must copy down a life 3 conductor.
-
(cont'd) During that frame after the active element propagates, the conductor to be copied will be reset again and the DRAY will do its thing again, repeating the process over and over.
-
(cont'd) Because the DRAY acts in time after the active element above it, we wait for the next frame. In the next frame, when it comes to the active element's "turn" to be processed, the conductor copied up "last frame" will be of life 3 and the active element (e.g. ARAY) will activate/propagate.
