coexistences
Living together simultaneously
Coexistences is the plural of coexistence—instances or types of existing alongside something else.
The word appears in discussions of multiple simultaneous arrangements: The coexistences of old and new architectural styles give the city its character.
It often emphasizes variety or multiplicity where a singular coexistence might suggest unity.
