Connotations I want to get at: global consensus, chronos > kairos (ie objective measured time over subjective sense of time, externalized), maximal synchronization/coherence. Synchronicity kinda gets at it, but is too strong. That's synchronization to the point of serendipity.

Only seems to be used in QT. Perhaps Eviatar Zerubavel said something useful. Unitary time is I suppose an abstraction of an abstraction. Maybe of general interest: Shotwell (1915) The discovery of time https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/2012678.pdf?refreqid=excelsior%3A5b2242fbb010ea1dbf720e19432841ff … Innis (1950) A plea for time https://www.gutenberg.ca/ebooks/innis-plea/innis-plea-00-h.html …
