mechanicalness
Lacking human spontaneity
The quality of being mechanical—automatic, unthinking, or lacking spontaneity.
Mechanicalness describes actions performed by rote rather than with genuine engagement: The mechanicalness of her smile suggested she'd greeted thousands of customers that day.
The word is rarely used; mechanical or mechanically usually suffice.
