foment, stimulate
Explanation:
Não seria aqui friccionar com o sentido de fomentar, estimular ou incrementar, talvez para tornar a universalidade técnica mais "interessante" ou "proveitosa"?
Sem mais contexto, pra mim, não diria reconciliar.

Reference: Poor wording maybe...

Reference information:
Segundo um dicionário que eu consultei, friccionar vem de fricção e pode ter os seguintes significados: esfregar; fomentar; fazer fricção. Independemente da tradução que se escolha, parece-me incorreto o uso da palavra friccionar nesse contexto.

I guess "foment" might be an option.
