This paper proposes a neurodynamic framework for meaningful experience, grounded in the recursive alignment of brain dynamics across time. We argue that the meaningful experiences known as "purpose", "synchronicity", and "flow" are not distinct phenomena, but temporal expressions of the same underlying process: metastable coherence in the brain's attractor landscape. Synchronicity marks...

Flow occurs when certain internal as well as external conditions are present, including intense concentration, a sense of control, feedback, and a balance between the challenge of the task and the relevant skillset.
