Yes, coordination is a common theme among them. Another way of looking at it is that these systems all have a partial ordering but no full ordering, like a game of rock paper scissors. This is something that shows up all around us, space time itself can have different ordering of events based on the observer so it is embedded in the very causal geometry we live in. I've tried in the past to have a more rigorous explanation for this all but I lack the time and honestly the intellect.
