changelessness
State without variation
Changelessness is the quality of remaining constant or unaltered over time.
The word appears most often in philosophical or religious contexts, describing eternal truths or divine nature: the changelessness of God's love.
In everyday use, changelessness can suggest either reassuring stability or frustrating stagnation.
