A state where the interaction of parts produces a regular pattern that persists through time, even though no single part contains the whole pattern, and the boundary of the whole is not the same as the boundary of any part.

In sync (noun) means: A state where the interaction of parts produces a regular pattern that persists through time, even though no single part contains the whole pattern, and the boundary of the whole is not the same as the boundary of any part. It emerges from interaction, pattern, persist, boundary: interaction.process. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 8, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

in-sync.harmony · forms: in sync

ordinarily means: People are acting together smoothly without conflict.
