Primes¶
- Rhythm
- The transfer runs in both directions: organizational designers borrow entrainment from biology, and analysts of physiological rhythm borrow the language of grouping and accent from music.
This sourceProves that populations of pulse-coupled oscillators (e.g., synchronously flashing fireflies) entrain to a common rhythm for almost all initial conditions; foundational basis for entrainment transferring from biological to organizational coordination.

- Synchronization
- Synchronization requires ongoing coupling: oscillators adapt to each other, not just to an external standard, as Mirollo and Strogatz (1990) demonstrate in their pulse-coupled firefly model where local interactions—not shared time—drive collective phase lock.

- Temporal Synchronization and Phase Alignment
- Out-of-phase flashing (e.g., flashing when neighbors are dark) never locks.
