tidsgående

Tidsgående is a Swedish adjective formed from tid (time) and gång (going, progression). It describes something that unfolds or evolves as time passes. The term is mainly found in Swedish-language technical and scholarly writing and is less common in everyday speech. It is used to express time-dependence or temporal progression in models, analyses, measurements, or narratives.

In science and engineering, tidsgående is used for time-evolving or time-dependent processes: tidsgående modeller, tidsgående simuleringar, and tidsgående analyser. In literary and rhetorical contexts, tidsgående can describe narratives that advance chronologically or that present events in a temporal sequence, as opposed to non-linear storytelling. In data handling, writers may prefer tidsserie or tidsberoende terminology, but tidsgående can appear when the emphasis is on how results change over time rather than on a single snapshot.

Related terms include tidsförlopp (time course), kronologi (chronology), tidsserie (time series), and tidsberoende (time-dependent). The term's exact connotations can vary by discipline, and its use should be clarified in context.
