Editing Ontology:P132 (section)

== Usage notes ==

This Property is to be used for any two fictional narratives or world-models that build on each other and thus are continuous with each other. This same basic concept can apply to:

* <strong>Fictional works.</strong> The {{book|Dragon Ball}} show is continuous with {{book|Dragon Ball Z}} in both directions. {{book|Dragon Ball GT}} and {{book|Dragon Ball Super}} are continuous with {{book|Dragon Ball Z}} in the forward-pointing direction. Fans might be divided whether {{book|Dragon Ball Super}} is actually backward-continuous with the {{book|Dragon Ball Z}} era or not.
* <strong>Fan works.</strong> If a fan work is ever represented on an Item page, it can be said to be continuous in a forward direction only with whatever work it is based on.
* <strong>Mythical or religious narratives.</strong> Two "serialized" or slowly-added chapters of the mythical fantasy narrative {{book|Journey to the West}} are continuous. Two Greek hero stories which one could expect would be told by the same local constellation of polytheistic town-cults and which have consistent story elements and rules are continuous. The Christian New Testament is continuous with the Christian Old Testament only in the forward-pointing direction though not necessarily backward.
* <strong>Philosophical traditions.</strong> The models of Marx and Engels are continuous with Trotskyism in the forward-pointing direction, just as they are continuous with Juche-socialism and mainstream Marxism-Leninism in the forward direction. It can be argued that mainstream Marxism-Leninism and the works of Marx and Engels are continuous in both directions. However, Trotskyism and mainstream Marxism-Leninism are not continuous with each other.
* <strong>Representations of reality in fiction.</strong> If the {{book|Fantastic Beasts}} films show footage of World War II, then their fictional timeline could be said to be continuous with the World War II period.
