inextricability
State of entanglement
Inextricability is the quality of being impossible to disentangle or separate.
It describes connections so tight that pulling them apart would destroy what you're trying to preserve: the inextricability of form and content in poetry, the inextricability of politics and economics.
The word emphasizes that certain things are bound together by their very nature.
