interconnection

Systems joined together

Interconnection is the state of being linked or joined together, or the point where such linking occurs.

Networks depend on interconnections between nodes.

The interconnection of global markets means a crisis in one country quickly spreads to others.

The word emphasizes mutual or reciprocal connection rather than one-way attachment.
