synchronism
Events occurring together
Synchronism is the state of occurring at the same time or operating at the same rate.
In technical contexts, it describes systems moving in precise temporal coordination: the synchronism of gears in a transmission, the synchronism of audio and video tracks.
The word emphasizes simultaneity as a structural principle rather than mere coincidence.
