coalescing
Fusing into one
Coalescing is the process of separate elements coming together to form a unified whole.
Droplets coalesce into streams, factions coalesce into movements, vague ideas coalesce into plans.
The word emphasizes gradual merging rather than sudden combination: Her scattered thoughts were slowly coalescing into a theory.
In computing, coalescing often refers to combining adjacent memory blocks or merging null values.
