If you genuinely made this accidentally then well done to you. It's hard to see how you could have accidentally stumbled across that specific arrangement of layered particles, though. Either way, now you know how it works. This can be used to supply a constant spark to ARAY, CRAY, FRAY etc. Note that conductor attached to this will only accept sparks according to their natural life counter. Anything that needs a constant spark must be directly attached to the PSCN here.

Normally, when any conductor is sparked, the SPRK lasts for (usually) 4 frames, then there is a 4-frame gap before it can get sparked again. The delete-and-replace CRAY setup eliminates this, since there is new PSCN, with a new life counter, on every single frame. This is the basis of subframe electronics (so called because it relies on the specific sequence of events happening within a single frame)

The CONV is layered with 2 CRAY (PSCN) particles. On each frame, one CRAY deletes the PSCN on either side of it, the second spawns new PSCN in the now-empty spaces, and the CONV sparks the new PSCN. Since the PSCN is replaced on each frame, its life timer is continously reset.
