Continuums
Continuum structure
The general structural concept underlying every continuum in the theory: a connected sequence of states. Foundational for awarepath, physapath, fazspace, and the theory's whole mathematical apparatus.
Many concepts in the theory are organized as continuums - structured collections that range from one extreme to another, with all the intermediate cases included. The general concept of a continuum structure captures what all these collections have in common: they are ordered, connected, and complete.
Understanding the general form of a continuum makes it easier to work with the many specific continuums in the theory - the awarecontinuum, the itoixpecontinuum, and so on. They all share the same underlying architecture, even though the particular objects they organize differ.
What this means
The theory uses a consistent structural framework across all its continuums, making the system as a whole easier to navigate and reason about.
From the awaretheory.com wiki (advanced reference)
A Continuum structure can be like a mathematical continuum of numbers or dimensions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_continuum. A continuum is anything that goes through a gradual transition from one condition, to a different condition, without any abrupt changes.
Itocontinuums are multidimensional continuums such as awarecontinuums and physicontinuums.
