continuations
What comes next
Continuations are things that extend or carry something forward.
A sequel is a continuation of an earlier story.
A continuation of a meeting resumes where the previous session ended.
In programming, a continuation captures the state of a computation at a particular point, allowing execution to be suspended and later resumed: The language supports first-class continuations.
