consecutionand

Consecutionand is a neologistic term used in discussions of process semantics to describe the idea that certain chains of events, operations, or inferences should be treated as an indivisible unit because their meaning, outcome, or validity depends on the full sequence. The word appears to blend consecution, meaning the act of following in order, with a suffix intended to signal conjunction and integrality. The term has arisen in speculative writings and analytic discussions as a way to formalize the intuition that sequential components can be interdependent in ways that resist analysis in isolation.

In practice, consecutionand is invoked to argue for modeling approaches that preserve the entire sequence as a single semantic entity, such as in sequential programming models, transactional workflows, or proof systems where intermediate steps impose constraints on later ones. It is often contrasted with notions of modular separation that permit discarding or reusing partial results, by emphasizing interdependence across the chain and the potential need to consider the sequence as a whole.

Critics note that consecutionand lacks a standardized definition and formal framework, which can impede broader adoption. Some see it as a rhetorical device rather than a distinct technical primitive, while others see potential utility in clarifying discussions of sequential integrity and dependency.

Related concepts include sequence, succession, sequential composition, and dependency in workflows and formal semantics.
