Synchronisation occurs when individual elements in a complex network behave in line with each other. This applies to real-life examples such as the way neurons fire during an epileptic seizure or the phenomenon of crickets falling into step with one another.
… researchers found that the higher the disorder in the network, the faster the synchronization. They subsequently verified this observation in real-life networks including an air-transported network, a social network, and a human travel network.

This result goes against previous observations, which showed that so-called small-world networks, which consist of an intermediate structure of fully ordered and fully disordered networks, favour synchronisation.
Disordered networks synchronize faster than small-world networks

Can this be // has it been explored further in terms of Brownian motion & evolution of the universe, biological & otherwise? Anthropology?
Also curious since synchronization is a type of ordering… it seems intuitive that a pre-ordered (pre-connected) network would have fewer “openings” left for the possibility of the connections that lead to a synchronization than a disordered one…
Could it be related to polymathy, creativity, inspiration &
{ “the power of outsider intelligence” } ?
Isn’t synchronization sought after in particular (of particles, not as in idiosyncratic) formation of life?
