fixity
Quality of immobility
Fixity is the quality of being fixed or unchanging.
The term appears in philosophical and scientific contexts discussing permanence versus change: the fixity of species (the now-discredited idea that species don't evolve), the fixity of his gaze.
It suggests something locked in place, resistant to movement or alteration.
