You see something similar in Andrew Meulenberg's Extended Lochon Model, accept that he emphasizes the importance of electrostatic forces in and around linear NAE. All the best models, I think, are pointing in this direction of a sort of "trap" (whether magnetic or electrostatic). Even Ed's theory postulates an accumulation of charge along the inner walls of the NAE, which creates a space that allows for other nucleons to sort of settle into a resonating polymer structure.
