When things change together so their patterns are the same over time.

Synchronization (noun) means: When things change together so their patterns are the same over time. It emerges from time, pattern, motion: Patterns of change in different things persist through time in a way that their timing remains aligned. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 3, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
