nonlocal

Not from here

Nonlocal describes something not confined to or originating from a particular place.

In computing, a nonlocal variable is defined outside the current function but isn't global—accessible from an enclosing scope.

In physics, nonlocal refers to quantum phenomena where particles influence each other instantaneously across distances, defying classical expectations of locality: nonlocal correlations between entangled particles.
