Carl Jung termed the phenomenon synchronicity [1], "which holds that events are 'meaningful coincidences' if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related." Google the philosophy of information, phenomenology, and "the world is made of meaning." Also related is the phenomenon of multiple discovery / simultaneous invention [2]. Ironically, this is in-part what the Curry–Howard correspondence is about, with the Church–Turing thesis being a prime example [3].
