Thanks for splitting the gap in an illuminating way.

My experience with "chains of synchronicity" is they quickly become obsessive and drained of subconscious lifeblood. For me it's word games, chains of acronyms and anagrams, reading meaning into licence plates. I noticed the same tendency in Scott Alexander (of the late SSC)'s fiction, where he plays with words in an almost numerological way.

I can see how it would be fun as an activity, but the view from the tic/compulsion side of the line is less pleasant.
