pervasiveness
Being found everywhere
Pervasiveness is the quality of spreading throughout or being present everywhere.
The word often describes things that saturate a space, culture, or system: the pervasiveness of smartphones in daily life, the pervasiveness of corruption in the regime.
It suggests not just presence but thorough penetration—something so widespread it becomes hard to escape or ignore.
