interweaving
Braiding multiple strands
Interweaving is the act of weaving things together, threading elements in and out of one another.
The word usually appears figuratively: The novel's interweaving of past and present creates narrative tension.
It suggests complexity and interconnection—multiple strands becoming inseparable from one another.
