We need to check whether the module works in the desired conditions. Two modules working separately doesn't mean that they will work when joined together.<br> | We need to check whether the module works in the desired conditions.

Increase copies of the elements and see how does the noise is affected. Theory says that noise should decrease, see if this system converges to a deterministic system.<br> | Increase copies of the elements and see how does the noise is affected.
