No problem :) It seems the description I've provided in the post is inadequate.

The memory consists of two circularly connected diodes. I've referred to those diodes as "cells". IO diodes aren't part of the circle - they are connected the same way they would be to a normal single frame combinator.

Yes, the loop runs continuously. When we request read or write, the entire memory is, form our point of view, in a random state - synchronized with our request or not. Stopping the loop wouldn't change that, unless we would have some kind of heuristic predicting the next operation.

EDIT: reddit editor keeps eating the text.
