What's the difference between integration and merging?

Integration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of making whole or entire.
  • (n.) The operation of finding the primitive function which has a given function for its differential coefficient. See Integral.
  • (n.) In the theory of evolution: The process by which the manifold is compacted into the relatively simple and permanent. It is supposed to alternate with differentiation as an agent in development.
