Where on EARTH ....fun quiz

The circuit at the top right enables the circuit on the left via 8V (use the switch if you wish to check that). But where is the earth for the left circuit?..... How does the source or the cmos etc run without an earth return? Put your answer replies .......who will be first?...but remember: If you think there is a hidden return/earth, then you would need to say where it is. I'll give the answer in a few days from now if no one explains it...... Now explained by @BillyT ........ The left circuit components are all linked whereby just one earth is necessary to get them up and running. The 8V line included. The line across to the right can now be seen as that necessary zero earth wire. That earth line is connected to earth on the right in a bridge-like manner, but a simple earth would have done the job...as can be seen if you flick the new earthing switch.

Trick question @2ctiby, because the circuit on the right is earthed and the circuit on the left is joined to it by the so called enabling signal, the circuit on the left becomes part of the earthed right circuit. Proof; open the switch on the enabling signal and the left hand circuit greys out.

Well done BillyT...I should have guessed that you would figure it in no time....can you, as the winner neatly unfold the right circuit here...if not I will do it soon and show the virtual earth there.

Revised schematic now in place with a little explanation.....just a little light entertainment here on EC.
