Synchronicity

A meaningful coincidence that feels connected without an obvious cause-and-effect link.

Carl Jung popularised the term for coincidences that carry personal significance. Psychology also studies how pattern-seeking works.

Sharing the sequence and timing helps others judge whether a sync looks rare or everyday.
