. this is a beauty of cursive scripts, they give a feeling of continuity and harmony of energy flow in text. in Japanese it is referred to as renmentai (連綿体, "unbroken body"). It is regardless of whether the line is physically connected or not. Another word for is it 行気 （gyouki) - thus flow (movement) of energy. Renmentai usually relates to a text as a whole, but can be applied to one character, especially if that one character is the whole text itself.
