convergent
Convergent refers to the tendency or act of moving towards union or uniformity. In mathematics, a sequence or series is said to be convergent if it approaches a limit or a certain value. In biology, it pertains to the evolution of similar traits in unrelated species due to similar environmental pressures. In plate tectonics, it denotes the movement of two tectonic plates towards each other, often leading to one being subducted under the other. Convergence is also used in the context of technology where different kinds of systems evolve towards performing similar tasks.
