I'm looking for a word that describes the invisible connection between seeming unconnected things. Like the area below the surface connecting an island chain, but that could potentially relate to people/ relationships as well. The closest things I've thought of is entanglement.
ie. a single work for degrees of separation
looking for something with more of a pulse than tie or bond. Like synapse, but not just for nerves.
Sentence: Everyone in the room was working independently, but could feel each other's humanity through _____.

Hi Sid, welcome to EL&U StackExchange! It would be really helpful if you could provide at least one, but preferably several, complete sentences where you might use this word, together with any necessary context.

You could finish your sentence with a shared intake of breath. You island examples could be connected by a pathway of broken waves, suggestive of the reef that lies beneath them. Personally, I think you might get more milage from a specific and concrete description of what the hidden link causes on the surface.
