nonframebased
Nonframebased, or non-frame-based, is a broad term used to describe approaches that do not organize output, data, or processing into a fixed series of frames. The term is not standardized and its precise meaning varies by domain. In animation and digital media, nonframebased typically implies that content is not defined by a fixed frame sequence at a specific frame rate. Instead, it may rely on procedural generation, real-time simulation, vector-based representations, or time-based interpolation that is continuous rather than tied to discrete frames. Frames may be generated on demand or as needed for display, rather than stored ahead as a complete timeline.
In streaming and data processing, nonframebased can refer to continuous processing of data streams rather than
Advantages of nonframebased approaches can include reduced latency, greater flexibility, and smoother handling of irregular input
