Thanks as always to the OED, a splash of cool water on a word of obvious interest to us.  It is more straightforward than we might have thought when deciding what word best complemented Raxa to communicate, through a name, both the means and the ends of a new effort:

…gathered into one; taken as a whole; aggregate…

When it comes to words that are part of names, though, straightforward is not the only consideration that matters.  Implied meaning, even if not recorded anywhere with specificity, matters too.  There is some other sense to the word collective beyond those words in the OED definition, and hopefully that sense is reflected in the actions taken by Raxa Collective.
