asynchronies
Events not synchronized
Asynchronies is the plural of asynchrony—instances where things that might be expected to align in time do not.
In developmental psychology, asynchronies describe uneven rates of growth across different abilities: a child's intellectual development may outpace emotional maturity.
In music or technology, asynchronies are timing mismatches: The asynchronies between audio and video made the stream unwatchable.
