Before revision:  They define analogues of magnetic field h and the inverse temperature (\beta) in Ising model\beta*\beta* \beta*  . Sparks terminate via a phase transition known as "hpolarity reversal" and the leak emerges when hfails to change its sign.
After revision:  They define analogues of magnetic field h and the inverse temperature (\beta) in Ising model\beta*) which we estimate using a classical Ising model and mean field theory. Our theory predicts that a synchronized Ca leak will occur when h>0 and \beta>\beta* \beta* . Sparks terminate via a phase transition known as "hpolarity reversal" and the leak emerges when hfails to change its sign.
