This looks like it could reproduce the output with one addition: a control 
register for the shift registers that turns individual shift registers on 
or off.  We know this control register exists because bits 3 and 5 are 
initially off and are turned on if the correct input is received.

In the case where the output for a bit is all 0 or all 1, the shift 
register is turned off.  This occurs when the corresponding bit of the 
input is changed and the current output of the shift register is high.

Presumably, this bit could be turned back on, by some method yet to be 
determined.  Also, we do not know what happened to the output bit of the 
shift register.  Was it also turned off, or was it left high?
