synergizing

Definition

Claiming that two components together beat the sum of their separate contributions — most familiar from the ReAct title, where reasoning and acting reinforce each other. The claim is stronger than "we combined A and B", so the thing to check is whether the ablations actually show super-additive gains rather than one component carrying the whole result.
