Graft
Join them so they cannot be taken apart; stop when pulling would break something rather than separate it.

Try it on your work
Attach two unrelated things from your surroundings so they cannot be separated without damage, and give the join a function. Stop when it holds, and write one line on why it stays.
Take a sentence from your project and a sentence from somewhere alien to it (a manual, a menu, an overheard remark) and fuse them into one sentence that reads as a single thought.
Take one procedure from a domain that has nothing to do with yours and bolt it, unmodified, onto your process for one working session. Keep whatever it forced that you wouldn't have done.
How it has been used
Join two things that don't belong together, permanently: horticulturists grow one tree on another's roots. Not a collage you can undo; a splice that has to survive. The move forbids reversibility: if the join can be taken apart, it wasn't this.
