continuum
noun
Definition: a continuous series of things that blend into each other seamlessly so that it's impossible to tell where one ends and the next begins

Antonyms: separation, distinction
Tips: A continuum is a continuous whole, though it is made up of separate parts. A continuum is something that changes gradually and has no clear dividing points or lines, although its extremes are quite different. Think of the way the colors in a rainbow continue, or blend, into one another, forming a continuum of color. Continuum can also be used to describe a series or range of things in one line or category. Think, continue or continuous.
Usage Examples:
