reconvergence
Paths meeting again
Reconvergence is the process of coming back together after having diverged.
The term appears in technical contexts—network paths that split and then rejoin, evolutionary lineages that develop similar traits independently, or narrative threads that separate before reuniting: The reconvergence of the two storylines happens in the final act.
The word implies a prior state of unity, a period of separation, and an eventual return to alignment.
