First, there is continuity and continuum, through mathematic principles, defined. 

This is, as a precursor toward understanding a specific continuum of relevance, beginning at the point of Gathering Estimation:  So, to think of a (one) continuum, as being an object out in the space of your mind, but outside of yourself.  A horizontal line of thought, as a focus.  You can see it, at a distance; as opposed to continuity of thought.  Continuity being where you stand (with your physical presence as the main point) on a particular issue, then looking to other points of value along a line of thinking, as possibly credible, but differing opinion. 

A continuum being fact-based, along a particular ‘line’ of thinking, and has relevance all along the way toward a valid counterpoint or theoretical point of opposition, as opposition to that starting point, at the opposite end of this continuum of thought.

In other words, a Continuum of thought, is outside of yourself, but within your system of values; it's an equation of fact-based thought, with beginning and end. 

A thought according to continuity, starts at perspective, your own, with trajectory from where you sit.

continua strategem:   These are theories of opposition and relevance, of which have point v. point relationship.

a (one) continuum:   An equation of thought within the strategem, which has complete point to point relevance, and then point v. point irrelevance, all along the way; however, does not rely upon rote theory, or consecutive ordered placement (as with consecutive numbers, for example).

to continue:   The process by which all matter makes progress, moves forward, tracks toward, & is directed:  to continue, ‘exhibits’ trajectory, and may be continuous, forever, or, alternatively, may veer, or be re-directed, & possibly mis-directed, by alternative thought or matter.

Continuous thought, is applicable as a direction for one’s life or existence.

A continuum establishes foundation through valid equation, using fact-based elements for proof … tactile evidence.  Time, may work within your equation; however, time is not defined by absolute function, although, time could be a distinct possibility through variable.

So, this line of thinking according to continuum, allows for a system to benefit all people, and for all people to work within the system… fate, then, is dictated on a personal level.

continuum v. perspective … constancy v. conditioned … a constant v. continuity …

This writing, which follows, is a theory of relevance:  a continuum for review, which has specific economic relevance/ramification toward American “way of life” and lifestyle stability:

Heretofore:  Gathering Estimation v. Estimated Guess:  A Theory to oppose trend.

Gathering Estimation … is to repair amounts based upon qualified attitudes, and then adjustments according to a theory of ‘more or less’ (as mathematic certainty and absolute fact, not, an estimated ‘guess’).  So, this continuum of understanding, is on a ‘gathering estimation’ v. estimated guess, or, ‘guesstimation’ … plane.
 
A “plane” as defined within this scope of continua, is spectrum:  establishes point relevance and idea within a framework of direct association.  Each point “touching” the next, on a level surface of thought. 

So, that said,

Gathering Estimation, is specific, only, to vertical-frame review, never straight-line calc, and, is supported by fact … it is visual feedback, which is initially experiential (this formula for review, is valid along the entire stretch of the continuum:   “GE v. EG (gu)”).

FYI, this is not to say, that our current economy is built upon “guesswork” but instead, is built upon our qualified “right”… to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; however, the unfortunate reality, is such that this “right” since having never been qualified, has never been put to specific definition.  Therefore, it has been ‘termed’ toward legal definition, allowing all rights to trend.  While these terms should have no clear definition, in order to allow for all positive ways of survival according to health, and happiness, specifics should have been laid to work, to the extent that our country should provide clear paths for growth, prosperity, health, and wealth, according to any eligible purpose for a life, with absolute guidance (a system of orderly possibility for livelihood), and also security, and protection from harm as being natural facts, not ‘rights’; this being the only way to ensure our prescribed ‘inalienable’ rights, accordingly.
 
So, that said, a new economy built upon this continuum of gathering estimation v. estimated guess, does not negate guesswork, but instead, puts it to work and to good use, through fact-based understanding:

The strategy, defined:

To estimate, is a calculated, visual quantification, rendered through experience.  Once applied & verified (via rote math), we then acquire ‘remainder’ feedback (feedback by extra, or ‘assumed’ (meaning garnered).  This being an equivalency to borrowed, as in an understanding of addition/subtraction equations, as when borrowing from, or adding to, a higher place value (the ‘extra’ in question, is in direct equivalence when added, but amassed proportionately and abundantly, by alternative algorithm when reintroduced, as from a negative position of being unaware of actual quantity within mass, the “verified amount”).  So, to gather estimation, is to capture qualified extra proportion (proportion, being a KEY term, not portion, but IS PROPORTIONATE TO, and proportionate in greater abundance, when calculating in arrears (see: pro v. con).  So, to then ‘set aside’ these leftover amounts, pro &/or con, for purposes of bundling, &, to then put to good use.  This does work in both positive & negative (pro&con) verified estimation amounts, to benefit of both.  This would appropriate an acquisition through “torrent” or “deluge” as in a flood of ‘valid concern or interest’ which, in this case, is currency.  This relevance according to idea, is the only reason, we are even able, to estimate through visual acuity!  So, this being a philosophy for an economy; ie, a new economic guide used to capture, and retain, and restore, value, within the American economic system, and is, in greatest opposition to trending supply and demand (which is an economic burden & an environmental backlash, since it is always based upon excess, to the point of burden, at some point).

This idea could, should, & if allowed to exist and is managed, WILL, serve to regulate certain areas and/or sectors of the US economy, as a measure of activity toward industries according to presumption/adherence, and as opposed to trend (since trending, as an economic ‘current,’ is an uncontrollable and unmanaged value) … so,

The point, is that all positive AND negative growth, is excess upon retention, and so can, AND SHOULD, be eligible “rally” for the economy.  This idea, has its foundation, in the ability to estimate a given quantity of items (amounts) in a specified multi-dimensional space, through ‘guesstimation’ which is a learned skill through experience.  To take the process further, is to then actualize verified amounts.  Once determined & revealed, a verified amount is either less than, or more, than one’s perception (the estimated amount), which allows the actualized quantity to “grow” once verified (if the verified amount is less than one’s perception, there is in fact more; if one’s perception was less, one can perceive the difference into being, through acquired transition from other verifiable, & then verified, equivalent spaces).  This given space, as denoted by example above, was only one verified space, so isn’t actualized through GE, since it is only one individual concern; however, once all similar spaces have been qualified, and made equivalent through verifiable and verified example (equivalency = proportion), one will have Gathered Estimation.

The product of Gathered Estimation, is also a useful budgeting tool within any singular industry.  Some may liken it to the quick fix some entities employ:  To the “borrow from Peter, to pay Paul” effort, which only serves to escalate a situation, sooner, rather than later, since it does not consider equivalency.  It only remedies to a slow-drip, a full-blown drain on a budget weakness.  Since it is merely a one-time, one to one, & one-way, (exchange) of value, toward a singular particular or pathway, and doesn't address actualized relief.  Gathered estimation, allows for growth, prosperity, philanthropy, etc., all according to verifiable fact.  The relationship according to opposition along this continuum, of GE to EG, is the process of verification, & a tactile understanding of equivalency.

Gathering Estimation should be used to prohibit inflation.  It can, and hopefully will, be used as ‘waste-save’ or, to re-use a very useful economic term, “reduce, reuse, recycle” toward the established foundation of an alter-economic ego; not a paradigm shift, but a NEW paradigm.  This being as an economy, of customized standards of quality, and preservation. 

A tall drink of water for our dry economic terrain:  The Gathering Estimation Constant, and the Theory of “The Glass Half-Full, a trend-less economy."
