The most common form these problems appear, is in the form of just
jumping from "the level of individuals" (be they chemical reactions,
organisms or organelles, human or animal individuals) into the level

violated.
"Would you please expand on the meaning of these two sentences?"
In asking this, you are asking for too much. The meaning of these
sentences lies in the thoughts they attempt to convey. - I find no fault
in the expressions, as such.
"In particular, what concepts / precepts are involved such that a
separation is termed a jump?"
There is a third term in between "concepts" and "precepts". It is that
of a percept.
Even perceptions seemingly well founded by science are results of
experiential habits. Raised into the status of unquestionable,
scientific units.
For example, you write down a point, lets take it to be a comma marking
the end of a sentence. - You re just so used to viewing it as something
very small, that it hs become difficult to view it as something neither
small nor large by its very nature, according to a truly topological
view.
The same applies with any meanings. they do not have any inherent size.
Not even the meaning of, say, number two. - Or atomic numbers, or even
perplex numbers.
The key question is and remains: What can you DO with these numbers? -
That is something demanding a precept.
Perhaps you have given one to your colleags. - It does not matter a bit,
that I have been (so far) unable to grasp the precept.
But if so, I am just as well unable to grasp your percept. Thus I am
bound to have difficulties in understanding you concept.

Why / How do you associate these with a principle of “continuity”
of what? Being? Beingness?
Cheers
