| Definition: | 1. in theory, a mutually synchronized network in which all the clocks are of equal status and directly exert equal amounts of control on all the other clocks
2. in practice, a mutually synchronized network in which all the clocks are of equal status and in which each clock directly exerts equal amounts of control on a few other clocks
NOTE – In the theoretical case, the network operating frequency or digit rate is the mean of the natural frequencies of all the clocks.
