Negative result bounded to the pinned text: the phrase 'Perpetual Motion' occurs only in the contents page and the chapter's sub-heading line; the chapter body has no paragraph on it. The nearest rules are to begin at the beginning and always go forward (turning back only as a rare exception), to use short quick scenes and many returns in fast plays, and to skip the steps between scenes. The closest statement of continuous action is outside the chapter (Part II ch. IV: no pause in the plot, perfect continuity of time). Part III ch. V warns that perpetual short scenes harm harmony. Label: 1914 practice; the reading of the heading is interpretation.
