See, just saying so doesn't make it so, something that _goes_ has a _place_ to go. Consider for example the mathematical limit, when, and if, all the terms are related there's only one rule need follow, and an arbitrary competing rule, shares no terms, so is altogether not relevant, we can say that the limit exists and we can get close enough to establish vanishing differences. Yet, the "infinite limit" is already stronger, close enough isn't good enough, when competing conditions would otherwise result its nullity, in effect. Then, the "continuum limit" is an idea of even a strong sort of setting, and about strong enough for purpose of a continuous milieu altogether, all relevant, all book-kept, like the natural/unit equivalency function, or most any other continuum limit you might come across in all sorts of mathematical treatments of probability and physics. For mathematical terms to maintain a relevance to each other, there's established as of the "relephant", as it were of each other. "Relephants: never forget". In case of fire: break glass.
