规则概述：《连续体》

[街猫口喵]

箴言

一. 信息即全部

我的存在，取决于我是否知晓。若我知晓某事将要发生，我的首要责任就是见证它的发生。这是我的业，亦即命定的未来，且是我为跨越时间欣然付出的代价。每时每刻，连续体都在抵制任何对已知的改变，从而确保我们的自由和人生能在更大范围中实现。

1. INFORMATION IS ALL
Upon whether I know or not know a thing, depends my existence. If I know a thing is to happen, it is my foremost responsibility to see that it happens. This is my Yet, or Required Future, and it is the price I gladly pay to span time. Change of the known is resisted by the Continuum ceaselessly so that our greater liberties and lives will be fulfilled.

二. 尊重长者，他们比你懂得更多

我的年长者们，或者说，那些更加年长的我，他们曾经是我，又远不止是我。我会尽己所能礼让他们，若是为了实现他们的要求，我会放下任何正在参与的事。仅当他们开口时，我会回应，就像父母心中的教养良好的乖小孩一样。

2. RESPECT YOUR ELDERS, THEY KNOW MORE THAN YOU.
My elders, or Elder Selves, have been me, and more. I will show them every courtesy, and set aside anything I am engaged in to fulfill their requests. I will speak to them only when spoken to, like the well-mannered child of parents' dreams.

三. 三思而后行

纪律是连续体的命脉。我须知晓我身处及将前往的时间和地点，并细致记录我曾去过的地方。我会布置隐秘地点，或者说接头点，于此我和我的跨时者同伴们可以安全会合，并协调我们的行动。

3. MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE
Discipline is the lifeblood of the Continuum. I will know when and where I am and am going, and diligently record where I have been. I will arrange corners, or meeting places, when and where my fellow spanners can rendezvous in safety, and coordinate our actions.

四. 邀人共舞

若庸人或其他陌生人目睹了跨时事件，则必须达成以下结果之一，罕见度依次递增：
a) 目击者忘记此事，或永远闭嘴；
b) 目击事件是对连续体的一次攻击；让目击者忘记此事或永远闭嘴，且造成此违规事件的所有当事人应被找出并击垮；
c) 目击者如我一样成为一名跨时者——连续体的一部分，并应受到尊重；

4. INVITATIONS TO  THE DANCE
If a Leveller, or other unfamiliar person witnesses a Spanning event, one of the following must obtain, in ascending order of rarity:
a) The witness is made to forget or never tell.
b) The witnessing was a strike against the Continuum; the witness is made to forget or never tell, and the parties responsible for the breach are sought out and brought down.
c) The witness is to become a spanner, like myself, a part of the Continuum and must be respected.

五. 败者不可谏

我会帮助连续体的成员对抗他们的时间破片，直到某个被清晰定义的程度。越过这个临界点，我会停止帮助这名跨时者修正时间破片。必败之人是那些因意外或设计，因自身或他人的过错，或无人犯错而积累了过多时间破片，终致无可挽救的跨时者，即便是他们自己也无法帮助自己。若我不幸面临如此规模的时间破片并因此深受折磨，我将毫不犹豫地将我剩余的存在时间用于帮助连续体。

5. NEVER FIGHT FOR A LOST CAUSE
I will assist fellow members of the Continuum to fight their fragmentation up to a clearly defined point. Beyond that point I will no longer aid that spanner to repair their fragmentation. Lost Causes are spanners who, through accident or design, through their fault, the fault of others, or no fault of anyone's, have suffered fragmentation beyond all aid, even their own. If such fragmentation ever afflicts me this severely, I will not hesitate to spend my remaining existence in assisting the Continuum.
