CPUs execute their instructions in synchonization with the "ticking" of
an internal clock. This kind of thing isn't unusual in the real world.
Musicians play their music at the tempo dictated by the baton of a
conductor or the "ticking" of a metronome. Greek slaves used to row the
oars of their trireme warships in time with the drum beats. Politicians
spend money at 1.5 times the rate at which they can get their hands on it.
You get the idea.
