I think of synthesis anarchism as analogous to a functor in mathematics~

Synthesis anarchism is okay as an essentially "big tent" anarchism, its much better as a "every strategy coordinates together" but its at its absolute best when understood as a way of intermixing differing tactics and grounding practices to open up new potentials and reformulate the contexts of previously known tactics, and practicing the skills and capacities to shift from one form of self-organizing into another, creating a plane of anarchic potentialities

This kind of synthetic anarchism is what voline spoke directly about in his essays on synthesis anarchism, but it seems like most people only took away the idea of "anarchists of different strategies and outlooks should cooperate" and not the much more creative implication that every possible development of a anarchic form has its own type of insights and practices that can, thru afixing to one kind of shared affinity, can creatively atune to open entirely new practices, and this strongly resonates with the notion of "diagonalizing" from d&g and uninhibited synthesis generally
