Synthesis
Combining elements
Definition
Mechanism
The process of combining separate elements into a unified whole — the inverse of Decompose. The result asserts something that no single part asserts on its own.
Invariants
- Names the parts it combined.
- Yields one artifact, not a collection of the parts.
- The whole asserts something no single part asserts.
