encompassment
Total inclusion within
Encompassment is the act of surrounding, enclosing, or including within bounds.
The word appears in formal or literary contexts where *encompassing* might serve as well: The encompassment of the valley by mountains made it feel isolated.
It can describe physical encirclement or abstract inclusion: the encompassment of diverse viewpoints within a single theory.
