You 'measure' one cell, and then all the other ones 'collapse' to values consistent with the result, because they have a hidden relationship with the cell you measured.
That's what happens in quantum mechanics. When you measure one thing, all the other things its entangled with collapse somewhat too - but not necessarily completely, it depends on the entanglement they had with the measured system.
It's a metaphor, I'm just saying it's very apt, not that it's mathematically equivalent.
