nOe is a special relationship between spinning bodies and radio frequencies. Just like a ballroom, a dance floor, or a mosh pit, the intesity of the interactions between two bodies is a function of the radio frequency pulse.
From Wikipedia:
"The Overhauser Effect is the transfer of spin polarization from one spin population to another via cross-relaxation in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR-spectroscopy). NOE differs from spin coupling in the respect that NOE is observed through space, not through bonds. Thus, all atoms that are in proximity to each other give a NOE, whereas spin coupling is observed only when the atoms are bonded to same or neighboring atoms."
In other words, nOe is a visual display of how spinning bodies move each other in the presence of a radio-frequency wave.
Thus chemical matter and atomic interactions may be drawn by analogy to the beauty of human social interactions under the influence of music.
