continuum
Gradual, seamless progression
A continuum is an unbroken sequence or range in which adjacent elements are barely distinguishable but the extremes are quite different: Gender exists on a continuum, the continuum from amateur to professional.
The word emphasizes gradual transition rather than discrete categories.
In physics, the space-time continuum treats space and time as unified dimensions.
