ideality
State of flawlessness
Ideality is the quality of being ideal—existing as a perfect conception rather than an imperfect reality.
In philosophy, it refers to the mental or conceptual nature of something, as opposed to its material existence.
The word also names the faculty for forming ideals or imagining perfection: His ideality far exceeded his practical sense.
