Synchronfelder
Synchronfelder is a term used in theoretical discussions and in speculative literature to describe a field that enforces temporal alignment among spatially distributed oscillators. In this concept, the field interacts with each oscillator by adjusting its phase or frequency in a way that promotes coordinated timing across a region. The result is entrainment, a reduction of frequency dispersion and the emergence of a common rhythm among the system’s components.
Etymology and usage: The name derives from the German words synchronisieren (to synchronize) and Feld (field).
Theoretical framework: In models inspired by the Kuramoto framework for coupled oscillators, a Synchronfeld represents a
Applications and relevance: In fiction, Synchronfelder are often used as plot devices to coordinate fleets, sensors,
