b. law or principle of continuity: the principle that all change, sequence, or series in nature is continuous, and that nothing passes from one state to another per saltum.The phrase originated with Leibniz. In 1687 he laid down as a general principle, that where there is continuity between data, such that one case continually approaches and at length loses itself in another, there will be a corresponding continuity in results or properties. For example, it is a property of the ellipse that all rays from the one focus are reflected from the curve to the other; in the parabola all such rays reflected at the curve are parallel; if there be given a series of ellipses continually approaching the parabola by the continuous increase of distance between the foci, the focal radii of these will continuously approach the relation of parallelism, so as at length to differ from it by less than any assignable amount. This was according to Leibniz ‘a principle of general order’, having its origin in the mathematical infinite, absolutely necessary in Geometry, but holding good also in Physics, because the Sovereign Wisdom, the source of all things, acts as a perfect Geometer, and according to a harmony that admits of no addition. In 1702 he referred to this principle as ‘the law of continuity’, and claimed that it operates in all natural phenomena; and in his Nouveaux Essais, he declared it to be part of his ‘Law of Continuity’ that everything in nature goes by degrees, and nothing per saltum.
