Description: This simulation shows the qualitative behaviours that emerge with different levels of coupling (the arrows on the left side) and how these could be used to induce walkers to synchronize the sounds of their footsteps with an auditory cue. The units in the Kuramoto system are phase oscillators, meaning that the phase around a 360 periodic domain is the single state variable of each oscillator, similar to the arrows of a clock. Here each oscillator makes a sound when it crosses zero phase. Pay clos
