linearize
Arrange in order
To linearize is to arrange or represent something in a linear form—a single sequence or straight line.
The term appears in technical contexts: mathematicians linearize equations by approximating nonlinear functions with linear ones; engineers linearize systems to simplify analysis; writers linearize complex narratives into chronological order.
The software linearizes the branching dialogue tree into a single playable path.
