Inconverging

Inconverging is a term used to describe a situation where two or more entities, such as lines, processes, or systems, are moving towards each other but will not meet or coincide at any point. This is in contrast to converging, where entities do meet. In geometry, inconverging lines are lines that do not intersect. In other contexts, inconverging processes might refer to parallel development paths that are intended to lead to a similar outcome but diverge due to unforeseen circumstances or differing methodologies. The concept can also be applied to abstract ideas or arguments that appear to be heading towards agreement but ultimately fail to reach a common conclusion. The key distinction lies in the absence of a point of intersection or resolution.
