When placing a Framework 13 on top of another Framework 13 laptop, the screen will turn off. How come?

I wonder if it’s detecting a magnet at the front edge from the closed lid of the notebook underneath, telling the system on top that the lid is closed?
That sure seems likely. A neodymium waved around in the right place would confirm.
95% this. I’ve done the same thing with my lenovo when I pushed it up against my speaker.
The magnet on my watch band makes my Framework 13 go to sleep sometimes. It was so annoying I got a different band.
The sensor that recognizes if the laptop is closed sits on the left, next to the audio jack. If you get a magnet within 2-3 cm of it, it triggers and the screen turns off. Seems like the magnet in the lid of the other laptop is just close enough.
Seems to me that it is likely due to the magnets on the hinge of the bottom laptop connecting with the bottom part of the top laptop. The top laptop then treats it as if the lid is closed.
