totalization
Adding everything together
Totalization is the process of combining or summing into a whole.
In philosophy, it often carries negative connotations—the reduction of complex particulars into a single unified system that flattens difference: Critics accused the theory of totalization.
More neutrally, totalization appears in accounting and measurement contexts where figures are aggregated into a total.
