   The technical term is only "dense order"

   Hi,   
      
   What you wrongly called Intermedite Value,   
   where Value refers to the Value of a function,   
      
   is only "dense order". Nobody calls it "gapless".   
   Because in the case of Q it has still gaps.   
      
   for x < y, there is z with x < z < y   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_order   
      
   For example Q has the irrational numbers as gaps.
