totalize
Combine into whole
To totalize is to add up into a total or to treat as a unified whole.
A totalizer is a machine that computes running totals—especially the betting machines at racetracks that calculate odds from all wagers.
In philosophy and criticism, to totalize often carries negative connotations: reducing complex phenomena to a single explanatory framework.
Critics accused the theory of totalizing diverse experiences into one narrative.
