Synchronic /sɪnˈkrɒnɪk/
Adjective
The term "Synchronic" pertains to the study, observation, or analysis of events, phenomena, or elements as they exist or occur simultaneously, without consideration of their historical development. It is often used in contrast with "diachronic," which involves looking at events, phenomena, or elements across different points in time.
Etymology:
The word originates from the Greek "syn," meaning "together," and "chronos," meaning "time," thus signifying the simultaneous or concurrent nature of the events or phenomena being considered.
Usage:
"Synchronic" can be applied across a range of academic disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, and sociology, to focus on a snapshot view of complex systems or phenomena at a specific point in time.

Paradox as a meta-state. The state of paradox being simultaneously a null value and a self-value with a pursuant corollary that "self" and "null" are oppositive values respectively.
Synchronicity is one of four states of the paradox: paradox-as-a-line (process) , paradox-as-a-point (value), paradox-as-a-curve (phenomenon), and paradox-as-a-state (metastate) with two, paradox-as-a-process and paradox-as-a-state being meta-states.

A series of coincidental events that may appear important. If you believe my other definition - then you ARE special. In a retarded sort of way.
"Sie...duh, wauk-uh. Woah, we're walking on a sidewalk!"
"And?"
"And? And I was just thinking of that word. That's not synchronicity. I think the universe is trying to tell me something..."
"Dude you need to lay off the dissociatives."

A very tough olympic sport that is a combination of swimming, gymnastics, weightlifting, and ballet. Routines are ususally done in a team (4 -8 swimmers), combo (up to 10 swimmers) solo, duet, and trio. While during practice, swimmers wear regular swimsuits, goggles, noseclips, and hair caps, during competitions swimmers wear knox gelatin in their hair along with make up and are not allowed goggles. They also wear matching decorated swimsuits. The noseclip is the most important piece of equipment to a swimmer. It blocks water from entering the nasal cavity and affecting the swimmers performance.
Many synchro swimmers practice 5-10 hours a day for six days a week. Swimmers say the feeling during a routine is like a 400 yard dash while holding your breath.
