noninteraction
Staying completely apart
Noninteraction is the absence of interaction—a state where things or people do not affect, influence, or engage with one another.
The term appears in scientific and technical contexts: The experiment required complete noninteraction between the control groups.
In physics, it may describe particles or systems that exert no force on each other.
