There have been tons of joined wing/box wing proposals over the years; Synergy claims to be different in that the others are all about upward lift while his upper surface acts as a conventional downward-pushing tail. I'll get excited when someone gets to fly in one and report awesome advances in the state-of-the-art.
That said, I don't believe it belongs in the category of the Ram Implosion Wing!
