by forcing the device back to '0' with a CCW pulse. this is a "destructive" read, because
it destroys the state of the device, but it's still a way to store data across time.

the above oscilloscope images show these two scenarios respectively. we apply a CCW pulse to the drive wire (yellow line)
and then monitor the voltage across the sense wire (purple line), loaded with a very low-value resistor.
there's always some residual output onto the sense wire -- via inductance from the drive wire if nothing else --
but the output during a 1 -> 0 state transition (top plot) shows substantially more energy than the 0 -> 0 case (bottom plot).
if we were using these as memory in a core memory array, we could place a capacitor across the sense wire, connect that to a comparator (opamp),
and recover a clean binary signal from this.
