Rhythm, fundamentally defined as the regular recurrence of events, is a pervasive organizing principle that transcends disciplinary boundaries. It characterises phenomena ranging from subatomic interactions to cosmic cycles, and critically influences biological processes, human cognition, and cultural expression. This paper provides a multidisciplinary analysis of rhythm, exploring its manifestations in physiological systems (circadian rhythms), linguistics (speech processing), and music (sensorimotor coupling). The study synthesizes existing theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence to argue that rhythm is not merely an aesthetic or physiological byproduct but a crucial mechanism for communication, coordination, and survival. We utilise a literature review methodology, drawing on insights from chronobiology, psycholinguistics, and music cognition to highlight shared mechanisms across these diverse domains.
