Gotcha, I was wondering if there was a deeper or more concrete connection between these particular trilemmas. It'd be interesting if there was seeing as how both are related to coordination, though I'm not so sure there is one.

Yes, coordination is a common theme among them. Another way of looking at it is that these systems all have a partial ordering but no full ordering, like a game of rock paper scissors. This is something that shows up all around us, space time itself can have different ordering of events based on the observer so it is embedded in the very causal geometry we live in. I've tried in the past to have a more rigorous explanation for this all but I lack the time and honestly the intellect.

One more thing, I suspect you can also find these in proof/axiom systems.
