I think with all things that “align” it’s a matter of frequency our brain recognizes – just like in nature some of the phenomena we see we recognize and understand now – the same reason a tornado occurs when we have a low and a high system. It’s just a consequence of just the right combinations.

I’d be interested to see someone with a music background maybe give better terminology to this phenomena, lol.
