I'm trying to figure out a good name for a project I'm working on, something that will be memorable and a really precise descriptor.

here's the concept I need to represent:
the collective effort of a mass of random brainstormish unrelated ideas can connect and build on each other and solidify into something really good.

just to possibly make it a bit more clear, here's my (very bad) effort:
"crystalize"

it can be any part of speech, but it preferably should be one word.


any ideas are appreciated!
thanks

If you go with 2 words serendipitous is a good first word. You could use serendipitous amalgamation, although heisenberg's suggestion sounds more breviloquent(I think I just made this form of the word up:D).

here's the concept I need to represent:
the collective effort of a mass of random brainstormish unrelated ideas can connect and build on each other and solidify into something really good.

synergetic epiphany or as one neologism: "synerpiphany"



synergetic: Working together, cooperating for an enhanced effect.

epiphany: A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.

neologism: A new word, expression, or usage.

"the collective effort of a mass of random brainstormish unrelated ideas can connect and build on each other and solidify into something really good."

looks like synergetic is your best bet. like said previously by other posters.

wow you guys are really good!

synergetic, epiphany, and serendipitous are all fantastic descriptors of the concept. it would be nice if there were a word that combines all of these ideas, and most importantly, *more memorable*. I'm embaressed to say, I think brain orgy is one of the best ideas that has been mentioned because it's so memorable (catchy)
