Synchronization phenomena, where coupled oscillators coordinate their behavior, are ubiquitous in physics, biology, and neuroscience. In this work the authors investigate a framework of coupled topological signals where oscillators are defined both on the nodes and the links of a network, showing that this leads to new topologically induced explosive transitions.
