reactivity
How readily something reacts
Reactivity is the tendency to respond or react.
In chemistry, it measures how readily a substance undergoes chemical reactions: Sodium has high reactivity with water.
In psychology, reactivity describes how subjects change their behavior when they know they're being observed.
In programming, reactivity refers to systems that automatically update when their underlying data changes.
