I’m more of a Trekkie :) - so I think it should be an “assimilation" of guidelines

A vergence was a phenomenon of the Force that was centered around an object, place, or person. Meetra Surik was the center of a vergence. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn believed that a vergence in the Force was located in Anakin Skywalker.

Certainly a vergence (the simultaneous movement of both eyes in opposite directions) is what I do when I see all these guidelines. But I like the term in the context of guidelines.

Guidelines may be convergent or divergent.   So a name for a group of guidelines (if looking for a made-up word like gaggle or new use for a word like pride) could be a vergence.
 
Wouldn’t it be nice to recognize when the guidelines converge or diverge?  (That’s a separate concept)

Tempted to suggest 'a divergence' of guidelines - or should we be more optimistic and say 'a convergence'

There are collective nouns specifically for lions (a pride of), geese (a gaggle of) etc but what is the collective noun for the unending collection of guidelines issuing from all and sundry? Let me venture my suggestion: a confusion of!

Subject: The End of Guidelines - a parody
 

Hi Everyone:

As many of you know I have fun creating educational musical parodies about "evidencey" stuff and I just released one on clinical practice guidelines using the great song, End of the Line - redone to be End of Guidelines.

Would love it if you would check it out.
