I know the answer but I'm not sure you will like it:

Apophenia: the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things


That's just how the human brain is wired: to find meaning in patterns. That helps us recognize a human face, see a predator hidden in the bushes, identify weather patterns, etc, etc



Our brain is LITERALLY designed to find patterns, but sometimes there is none and yet we see them. Like seing forms in clouds, faces on wood grain


Syncs are the same thing.


I know many will dismiss this but I know for proof it's true.

I had a psychotic episode and I was seeing syncs everywhere, all the time. Well psychosis is known to increase apophenia
