How to morph complex paths?

Question

Need some help from the community here.I've got a complex shape made of 50 paths (on the left) I need to morph it smoothly into this 1 path noodle loop, what would be your approach?  Any help will be greatly appreciated. A.

The approach is patience and meticulousness. It would probably help to have a plug-in like Plexus to ease some of the pain, but more or less that is one of those "physically impossible/ implausible objects" situations where you will have to cheat things a lot with a clever animation pattern that distracts the viewer and you can rearrange the paths as needed rather than slavishly trying to find a mathematicalyl exact way of "morphing" them.
