Continuum (theory)

gradual quantitative transition without abrupt change

A continuum is when a change happens over time or an area without being interrupted.

Space-time is when space and time are said to be part of the same continuum instead of two different continuums.

A dialect continuum is a group of language dialects that change over an area. In a dialect continuum, two dialects are more different when they are farther away from each other.
