Self-synchronizable network

A method for synchronizing a network comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein each of the nodes is interconnected with at least another node of the network such that an output of a first node is connected to an input of a second node and an output of the second node and/or a third node is connected to an input of the first node;

• comprising the steps of:
• a. generating a time-continuous synchronization signal for synchronizing the plurality of the interconnected nodes of the network in each node by a controllable oscillator;
• b. comparing and synchronizing a phase of the time-continuous synchronization signal generated by the controllable oscillator by a controller, which is transmitted to another node or the plurality of other nodes of the network, with a phase of an external time-continuous synchronization signal received from the another node or the plurality of other nodes of the network by adjusting a frequency of the time-continuous synchronization signal generated by the controllable oscillator,
• c. iteratively adjusting a frequency of the time-continuous synchronization signal generated by the controllable oscillator,
• d. wherein signal transmission speed and the length of each interconnection of the network is configured to cause a delay of the signals received by a node from the another node or the plurality of other nodes of the network which is larger than one millionth of the free-running period of the controllable oscillator of the receiving node such that network-wide synchronization of oscillators is achieved for all nodes of the network in a continuous self-organized process in interaction with the another node or the plurality of other nodes of the network.
