Literary notes about synchronicity (AI summary)

Writers often invoke the term "synchronicity" to suggest a convergence of forces that goes beyond mere chance. In one narrative, Clarke is credited with bringing about this phenomenon, implying that such moments are deliberately orchestrated rather than random [1]. Other works explore how synchronicity mirrors human evolution in its various stages, framing coincidental alignments as natural progressions in our development [2]. The term is also used to evoke a sense of waiting for a higher-order sign, one that validates insights that transcend ordinary human interpretation [3]. Meanwhile, historical figures like Dickens are referenced in discussions of synchronicity to question whether such meaningful coincidences are a universal literary device employed by various authors, including Clarke and Phanes [4].
