A pack of wolves and a besieging army are doing the same thing. So are a surveillance state, a spreading wildfire, a cornered commodity market, and a species sliding toward extinction. In each case something is being closed in on, and its room to move is shrinking toward a single point.

Synalosis is the name David Boles gives to that operation and to the shape it always draws. A target has a set of futures still open to it: the ground it can still cross, the moves it can still make, the prices it can still get. Predation, siege, criminal investigation, monopoly, epidemic control, addiction, and the recommendation engine on your phone are one process, that set of open futures squeezed step by step until a single outcome is all that remains.
