nonmaterially
In intangible ways
In a way that does not involve physical matter or material means.
Something can affect you nonmaterially—influencing your thoughts, emotions, or spiritual state rather than your body or possessions: The loss impacted her nonmaterially, leaving her sense of purpose shaken.
The term appears in legal and financial contexts to describe effects that don't meet a threshold of significance: The error affected the report nonmaterially.
