immanent

Present throughout everything

Immanent describes something existing or operating within—inherent rather than coming from outside.

In philosophy and theology, an immanent God dwells within the universe and human experience, contrasted with a transcendent God who exists beyond or apart from creation.

More broadly, immanent qualities are intrinsic: Justice is immanent in the system itself.

Not to be confused with imminent (about to happen) or eminent (prominent).
