From Synchronicity to Necessity: A Probabilistic Reinterpretation

Abstract

The concept of synchronicity, introduced by C.G. Jung, has long been treated as “meaningful coincidence.” However, by applying a probabilistic framework, syn- chronicity can be reinterpreted not as a metaphysical anomaly but as a statistical inevitability. This paper demonstrates that repeated coincidences, once exceeding a certain threshold, converge mathematically toward necessity. This reinterpretation bridges psychology, philosophy, and mathematics, offering a structural resolution of synchronicity.
