Synchronicity is a word coined by the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung to describe the temporally coincident occurences of acausal events. It was a principle that he felt compassed his concept of the collective unconscious, in that it was descriptive of a governing dynamic that underlay the whole of human experience and history—social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Jung believed that many experiences perceived as coincidence were due not merely to chance, but instead potentially reflected the manifestation of coincident events or circumstances consequent to this governing dynamicIncluding:

Note 1: In Synchronicity in the final 2 pages of the Conclusion, Jung stated that not all coincidences are meaningful and further explained the creative causes of this phenomenon. Note 2: Jung defined the collective unconscious as akin to instincts in Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Note 3: The Psychovision Synchronicity page con ...

The Wizard of Oz When the album Dark Side of the Moon is played simultaneously with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, the images of the movie often appear to be synchronized with the music and lyrics. Many fans have explored this phenomenon, which band members deny was intentional. See Wizard of Oz-Dark Side of the Moon Synchronicity 2001: A Space Odyssey Another interesting synchronization occurs between the song Echoes, from Meddle, and the last scene of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, titled "Jupi ...

Brainwave synchronization is a private case of functional brain connectivity concept, whereas Functional connectivity is defined as the temporal correlation between spatially remote neurophysiological events, expressed as deviation from statistical independence (temporal correlation) across these events in distributed neuronal groups and areas, which produce the brainwaves (for the recent review see Fingelkurts An.A., Fingelkurts Al.A., Kähkönen S. Functional connectivity in the brain – is it an elusive concept? Neuroscience & ...

Synchronizing Energies

Feng shui is about "synchronicity." Being in sync with the natural patterns of energy is like focusing a picture. Everything becomes clear. You understand who you are, you know what your purpose in life is, and you realize how to deal with problems. The different elements of your life comes into place - you are better able to pursue your goals, meet the right people, and be in the right place at the right time. Feng shui lets your existence take on a new force.

A clock network is a set of clocks designed to always show the exact same time by communicating with each other. Clock networks usually include a central master clock kept in sync with an official time source, and one or more slave clocks which receive and display the time from the master. Clock network - Synchronization Sources. The master clock in a clock network can receive accurate time in a number of ways: through the United States GPS satellite constellation, a Network Time Protocol server, the CDMA c ...

The Chronology of the Ancient Near East deals with the notoriously difficult task of assigning dates to various events, rulers and dynasties of the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC. The chronology of this region is based on five sets of primary materials. They are, from the most recent to the earliest: The Canon of Kings from Ptolemy. An unbroken series of Neo-Assyrian king's names. Babylonian King Lists A and B, the Synchronistic Chronicle, the Assyrian King List, and a number of shorter lists of year na ...

Since the theory of synchronicity is not testable according to the classical scientific method, it is not widely regarded as scientific at all, but rather as pseudoscientific or an example of magical thinking. However, it is doubtful that Jung would have considered the theory to be scientifically testable. Probability theory can attempt to explain events such as the plum pudding incident in our normal world, without any interference by any universal alignment forces. However, the correct variables required for actually computing the p ...

The feeling of making a connection where there is none has been described as apophenia. Aspects of the subjective experience of schizophrenia have much in common with the subjective experience of synchronicity, in the sense that ordinary events are seen as having a direct personal relevance to the schizophrenic, but are seen as 'normal' by non-schizophrenics. Many psychoses are similar to schizophrenia but can last for a very short time, such as in rare instances from nicotine withdrawal (as an examp ...

In a centralized system the solution is trivial; the centralized server will dictate the system time. Cristian's algorithm and the Berkeley Algorithm are some solutions to the clock synchronization problem in a centralized server environment. In a distributed system the problem takes on more complexity because a global time is not easily known. The most used clock synchronization solution on the internet is the Internet Network Time Protocol (NTP) which is a layered client-server architecture based on UDP message passing. C ...

While there is evidence of swimmers performing ballet-like manoeuvres in the water in ancient times, the origin of synchronized swimming as an organized, competitive sport dates to the early 20th century. In the 1920s, a group of Canadian women, led by national calibre water polo player and diver Margaret Sellers, developed what they called 'ornamental swimming' from life saving and swimming techniques. Originally known as water ballet, synchronised swimming began in Canada in the 1920s. It spread to the United States in the early '30 ...

Besides the incorrectness of the time itself, there are problems associated with clock skew that take on more complexity in a distributed system in which several computers will need to realize the same global time. For instance, in Unix sytems the make command is used to compile new or modified code without the need to recompile unchanged code. The make command uses the clock of the machine it runs on to determine which source files need to be recompiled. If the sources reside on a separate file server and the two machines have unsynchronized clocks, the ...

Whenever an electronic device transmits digital (and sometimes analog) data to another electronic device, there must be a certain rhythm established between the two devices, i.e., the receiving device must have some way of knowing, within the context of the fluctuating signal that it's receiving, where each unit of data begins and where it ends. For example, a television transmitter produces a continuous stream of data in which each horizontal line of image must be distinguishable from the preceding an ...

The traditional approach to multi-threaded programming is to use locks to synchronize access to shared resources. Synchronization primitives such as mutexes, semaphores, and critical sections are all mechanisms by which a programmer can ensure that certain sections of code do not execute concurrently if doing so would corrupt shared memory structures. If one thread attempts to acquire a lock that is already held by an ...

Non-blocking algorithms use atomic read-modify-write primitives that the hardware must provide, the most notable of which is compare and swap (CAS). Ultimately, all synchronizing algorithms must use these; however, critical sections are almost always implemented using standard interfaces over these primitives. Until recently, all non-blocking algorithms had to be written "natively" with the underlying primitives to achieve acceptable performance. However, the emerging field of software transactional memory promises ...

A monitor consists of: a set of procedures that allow interaction with the shared resource a mutual exclusion lock the variables associated with the resource a monitor invariant that defines the assumptions needed to avoid race conditions A monitor procedure takes the lock before doing anything else, and holds it until it either finishes or waits for a condition (explained below). If every procedure guarantees that the invariant is true before it releases the lock, then no task can ever find ...

Like management, Synchronization of SONET and SDH networks is a difficult and arcane subject. Remember that a SONET NE will transport and/or multiplex traffic that has originated from a variety of different Synch sources. In addition, a SONET NE may have a number of different synchronization options to choose from, which in some cases it will do so dynamically based on Synch Status Messages and other indicators. As for Synchronization sources available to a SONET NE, these are: Local External Timing. This is generated by ...
