Continuous predicate

Continuous predicate is a term coined by Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914) to describe a special type of relational predicate that results as the limit of a recursive process of hypostatic abstraction.

Here is one of Peirce's definitive discussions of the concept:

• Bradley's regress
• Unity of the proposition

• Peirce, C.S., "Letters to Lady Welby", pp. 380–432 in Charles S. Peirce: Selected Writings (Values in a Universe of Chance), Philip P. Wiener (ed.), Dover, New York, NY, 1966.
