I believe this would compare to the situation when a wetware processor goes
into sleep mode while the other stays in normal mode. According to local
emprical data, this does give some unusual indata to the processor which
is not in sleep mode (very fast projected movies, as it were), but no
"half-thoughts" could be detected.
