Aggregative Consequentialism = which consequences are best is some function of the values of parts of those consequences (as opposed to rankings of whole worlds or sets of consequences).
Total Consequentialism = moral rightness depends only on the total net good in the consequences (as opposed to the average net good per person).
as two related and potentially identical concepts. When defining normative reductionism, do you mean that the value of the world is equal to the sum of the value of its parts? If so, total consequentialism is probably the closest term (though it’s a bit unfortunate that they only contrast it with average utilitarianism).
I’ve personally used total consequentialism for this in the past (when arguing that non-causal decision theories + total consequentialism implies that we should assume that alien civilisations are common) and would support it being standard terminology. Many people know what total utilitarianism is, and making the switch for consequentialism is quite intuitive.
