German term or phrase: Simultanverschränkung
This term is used in an academic study and referenced to Konrad Lorenz.

The entire sentence is:

Obwohl wir nun die Glieder nicht weiter in Sukzessivkomponenten zerlegen können, erscheinen sie bei genauer Betrachtung doch als sogenannte Simultanverschränkungen (Lorenz) ungleicher Komponenten.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Reference information:
Hallo Sabine,
I googled for Konrad Lorenz + Verschränkung and was directed to his work on ”Instinkt-Dressur-Verschränkung

"Bezeichnung für das von Konrad Lorenz so bezeichnete Zusammenspiel angeborener und erworbener Erfahrung im tierischen wie menschlichen Verhalten (Ethologie, Mensch-Tier-Vergleich)".
http://www.psychology48.com/deu/d/instinkt-dressur-verschrae...

Then I googled Lorenz +instinct +training and found “interlocking”
i.e.
drive-training interlocking

HOWEVER, "simultaneous interlocking" does not google well at all, that's why I'm not entering this as an answer, just as a reference.

Asker: Thank you Johanna, this is really helpful. I am still looking to find a Lorenz translation somewhere. I will also ask the client, however he is frolicking around Spain doing field work at the moment.

Asker: The last link you gave me is very promissing. For some reason google does not let me to read it. :-( I will have to try to outfox them. Thanks again, your research skills are just great and I appreciate the help. :-)

Asker: Hi Johanna. I think your suggestion will work. Why don't you enter it as an answer. I am ready to close the question.
