Synergos (Gk 'working together'): a chimaeric entity that integrates around a synthetic idea, forming a coherent entity whose character transcends those of its constituent parts.
Gary Snyder suggested something like a synergos of the world heritage of myth and folklore with modern 'Ecology' (a romantic linking-back, then) that would be a new level of mythos which could serve as the basis for a new world culture of 'Deep Ecology'.
