subtype: series similar things placed in order or happening one after another; "they were investigating a series of bank robberies"
subtype: actinide_series (chemistry) a series from actinium to lawrencium of 15 radioactive elements with increasing atomic numbers
subtype: chain__concatenation a series of things depending on each other as if linked together: "the chain of command"; "a complicated concatenation of circumstances"
subtype: catena a chain of connected ideas or passages or objects so arranged that each member is closely related to the preceding and following members (especially a series of patristic comments elucidating Christian dogma)
subtype: course.series__line a connected series of events or actions or developments; "the government took a firm course"; "historians can only point out those lines for which evidence is available"
subtype: stream.course__flow__current dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas: "two streams of development run through American history"; "stream of consciousness"; "the flow of thought"; "the current of history"
subtype: cycle.series a series of poems or songs on the same theme: "schubert's song cycles"
subtype: electromotive_series__electromotive_force_series__electrochemical_series a serial arrangement of metallic elements or ions according to their electrode potentials determined under specified conditions; the order shows the tendency of one metal to reduce the ions of any other metal below it in the series
subtype: hierarchy a series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system: "put honesty first in her hierarchy of values"
subtype: taxonomy.hierarchy a classification of organisms into groups based on similarities of structure or origin etc
subtype: data_hierarchy an arrangement of data consisting of sets and subsets such that every subset of a set is of lower rank than the set
subtype: nexus__nexu a connected series or group
subtype: patterned_advance__patternedadvance__progression a series with a definite pattern of advance
subtype: arithmetic_progression (math) a progression in which a constant is added to each term in order to obtain the next term; "1-4-7-10-13- is the start of an arithmetic progression"
subtype: geometric_progression__geometricprogression (math) a progression in which each term is multiplied by a constant in order to obtain the next term; "1-4-16-64-256- is the start of a geometric progression"
subtype: harmonic_progression (math) a progression of terms whose reciprocals form an arithmetic progression
subtype: rash a series of unexpected unpleasant occurrences; "a rash of bank robberies"
subtype: sequence serial arrangement in which things follow in logical order or a recurrent pattern; "the sequence of names was alphabetical"
subtype: combination.sequence a sequence of numbers or letters that opens a combination lock; "he forgot the combination to the safe"
subtype: Fibonacci_sequence a sequence of numbers in which each number equals the sum of the two [receding numbers
subtype: codon a specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid
subtype: string.series__train a sequentially ordered set of things or events or ideas in which each successive member is related to the preceding: "a string of islands"; "train of mourners"; "a train of thought"
subtype: succession a group of people or things arranged or following in order: "a succession of stalls offering soft drinks"
