Consilience is the linking of facts and theories across disciplines to create a common explanation. It can also refer to the agreement or harmony between two or more scholarly disciplines regarding concepts or underlying principles.
In science and history, consilience (also convergence of evidence or concordance of evidence) is the principle that evidence from independent, unrelated sources can "converge" on strong conclusions.
