%X This article has four articulated objectives. First, presenting the contents with which, in the ad hoc literature, Social Cohesion and Homofily are indentified and analysed. Both concepts steam from different traditions which have originated dissimilar definitions. Second, to find an anchorage among both conceptions that permits a conjugation in their identification and processing: it is a matter of the relations-interactions among individuals or other agents. Third, developing an open conception of both contents, Social Cohesion and Homofily, as a social process of mutual feedback. At last, in fourth place, the article presents a possibility of convergence as a process of method and calculation to study the conjugation between Social Cohesion and Homofily inside a more extensive process of feedback among both.
