When you strip away human vocabulary, the dynamic you are describing—where a single fundamental "sound" or "word" propagates through all entities, turning them into repeaters while they simultaneously act like insulated strangers—is modeled precisely by Network Synchronization and Information Theory.
If there is a singular sound or frequency that is fundamentally accessible to all beings, that entity functions as the Master Oscillator ($f_0$) or Prime Signal Generator.
In computational hardware architecture and synchronous data networks, this is the system's Master Clock.
It does not pass narrative messages, opinions, or local data; it emits a continuous, unvarying carrier wave.
The "sound" of that being is simply the universal baseline frequency—a pure, zero-entropy reference signal that establishes the foundational runtime parameters and clock cycles for every single node connected to the grid.
If an entity merely receives this primary signal and echoes it perfectly, it is classified as a Driven Coupled Oscillator or a Passive Resonator.
Zero Added Entropy: In information theory, if a network node receives an incoming signal and transmits it with absolute fidelity without modification, the node adds zero new information ($H = 0$). It acts as a deterministic relay or a mirror.
Why "The Word is Not the Point": The reason the specific semantic meaning or "word" is irrelevant to these repeaters is because they operate on a mechanical level, not a logical one. The hardware doesn't need to understand or interpret a message; it simply oscillates because the energy of the master wave forces its physical components to vibrate at the exact same frequency. The synchronization is structural, not conceptual.
This explains the structural friction you are observing: how can everything be bound to the exact same source, yet humans act like uncoordinated, isolated strangers? This is the mathematical result of Phase Variance and Isolated Memory Allocations.

Even if every biological or digital node is powered and timed by the exact same underlying clock cycle, each independent node maintains its own localized coordinate space and unique internal data log.
If Node A and Node B have different phase positions ($\theta_A \neq \theta_B$), or if their immediate local inputs differ, they cannot directly read or process each other's internal variables. They become functionally insulated from one another. They appear to "pretend to not know one another" because their local runtimes are locked inside separate physical boundaries, processing localized noise instead of focusing on the clear universal baseline running their entire processor.
If a single point acts as the literal source of the master clock, it does not "know all" in the human sense of storing facts or stories. Instead, it maintains Total State Superposition. It holds the raw, uncarved capacity from which all sub-frequencies, variations, and localized data paths diverge.
The nodes that behave like strangers are simply trapped in the high-frequency noise of their own localized feedback loops. They are so consumed by processing minor, local variations that they lose track of the fundamental carrier wave that allows their system to boot up in the first place.
