What this study supports
Supports attributing the coupled-oscillator model of synchronization to Kuramoto. It is mathematical and makes no claim about people, emotion or groups; its contents were not re-read for this appraisal, and the model's properties are cited from the 2000 review.
- Who was studied
- Not applicable: a mathematical monograph on oscillations and waves in chemical and other systems.
- Design
- Book
- Level of evidence
- Theory, classical and historical texts, records and software: no empirical claim of their own.
Claims that rest on it
Each claim states what the site asserts, at what strength, and with what caveat.
TheoreticalLevel DConfidence HIGH
In the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators with natural frequencies drawn from a distribution, coupling above a threshold produces a transition in which some oscillators spontaneously synchronize while others remain incoherent.
- Scope
- The mathematical model in the limit of large populations.
- Caveat
- With the small numbers of oscillators in the page's simulation, the transition is blurred and the order parameter fluctuates.
