reconcilables
Things made compatible
Things that can be brought into agreement or harmony with each other.
The term usually appears in discussions of seemingly opposed ideas, positions, or accounts that turn out to be compatible: The two theories are reconcilables—they describe the same phenomenon from different angles.
Often contrasted with irreconcilables.
