disconnectedness

State of separation

Disconnectedness is the state of being separate or lacking connection.

It describes the condition of things that don't link together—whether physical objects, ideas, or people.

The word often carries emotional weight: a feeling of disconnectedness from her community, the disconnectedness of modern life.

It can also describe logical or structural gaps: the disconnectedness of the argument made it hard to follow.
