If you took two computers and ran the same program and observed the same values in the same registers on both machines would you say that the machines are connected and experiencing synchronicity or just responding similarly to the same inputs?
Two people interacting don't entirely have "the same input" though, do they?
But we have neurons that try to mimic the feelings and thoughts of those around us, to give us empathy and help us communicate.
These might somehow simulate having the same inputs, leading to synchronicity?
In that case you could probably argue both, in that they are synchronized by the operator’s intention, the identical nature of the programs being run, as well as each computer’s ability to identically do so and output the same values.
Synchronicity could be just that. Two systems responding to inputs in similar/identical ways, because they evolved to do so or were made to do so. Both functions of the overarching nature of cause and effect.
It gets more interesting when you let those two computers talk to each other and each becomes an input for the other. Interference and synchronization abounds.
If two computers modify their initially different programs to match inputs and outputs - I would say it is synchronicity. The key difference with just two running copies of the same program is the ability to observe behavior of each other and modify it accordingly.
