Two metronomes that sync without trying. Efficient but can become an echo chamber.
Lockstep is the Third Entity that emerges when Pulse meets Pulse. The relationship itself becomes its own character — shaped not just by your archetypes, but by how your energy styles interact. The same Third Entity can feel completely different depending on whether your energy styles are aligned, complementary, or different.
Two Pulses create Lockstep — metronomes on the same shelf that sync without trying. This entity shows up in friendships built on shared values, similar routines, and the kind of coordination that looks effortless because it is. You finish each other's plans before they are spoken.
Perfect sync means nobody introduces new rhythms. You can march in formation straight into a wall and neither person will notice until you hit it. The biggest risk is not conflict — it is stagnation disguised as harmony.
Both people share the same energy style. Communication is effortless but growth requires intention.
What works
Two metronomes on the same shelf that sync without trying. You both value the same things in the same order, and it shows in how effortlessly you coordinate.
What causes friction
Perfect sync means nobody is introducing new rhythms. You can march in formation straight into a wall and neither of you will notice until you hit it.
What to do this week
One of you should deliberately disagree about something small this week. See what happens when the metronomes drift.
Energy styles naturally fill each other's gaps. The balance is organic but can become invisible.
What works
You match each other's pace even though you run on different fuel. One leads with one thing, the other with another, and the result is a stride that covers more ground than either could alone.
What causes friction
Lockstep works until one person speeds up and the other does not notice. The gap opens slowly and closes hard.
What to do this week
Check in on pace, not just direction. Ask: are we still moving at the same speed?
Energy styles contrast sharply. This creates the most friction — and the most potential for unexpected growth.
What works
You somehow end up in the same place despite taking completely different routes. People assume you planned it. You did not.
What causes friction
Different approaches to care can look like marching out of step when you are actually heading to the same destination. The frustration is in the optics, not the outcome.
What to do this week
Focus on where you arrive, not how you get there. Compare results, not methods.
