continuation

n. continuing (without stopping); resumption (after stopping); sequel

In computing, a continuation represents the rest of the computation given a point in the computation. Another word for "rest of the computation" is control state, meaning the data structures and code needed to complete a computation. Most languages implement the data structure as a variant of the stack and the code as just a pointer to the current instructions. There are also programming languages that represent the control data as a heap-allocated object.
