Experiment continuum

An experiment continuum is the ideas that very small changes can be done to an experiment. The whole experiment can be viewed as a continuum of slightly different experiments. Inductive reasoning is applied to a continuum of experiments to get generalized useful information. For example, you add baking soda to vinegar you get a reaction that produces carbon dioxide bubbles. Inductive reasoning predicts that the next time you do this you will get the same results. The complete experiment continuum of this particular experiment would be all possible variation to it.

Experiment continuums overlap with each other, so parts of one experiment continuum will overlap with parts of many other experiment continuums. the baking soda and vinegar experiment will over lap with baking soda and acids experiments.

Where there is an actual experimental discontinuity there is usually a unknown or hidden controlling factor that when it is known about and understood the discontinuity no longer exists.

There are many experiment continuums in psychexistology dealing with awarepaths, physapaths, ixpepaths, etc.

A simplified view of an experiment continuums are mathematical functions. Experiment continuums without discontinuities are like smooth functions.
