# Synthesis

Combining elements

Layer: Mind · Category: Reasoning

## Mechanism

The process of combining separate elements into a unified whole — the inverse of [Decompose](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Decompose.md). 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.

## Failure modes

—
