Convergence
Convergence refers to the coming together or merging of different elements, ideas, or entities towards a common point or purpose. It can occur in various contexts such as technology, communication, economics, or even in the fields of science and mathematics. Convergence often involves the integration or combination of formerly separate or distinct entities, resulting in a unified or interconnected whole. It implies a shift towards unity, coherence, or similarity, where previously separate elements start to overlap or share common characteristics, goals, or functionalities.
