ultimateness
State of extremity
Ultimateness is the quality of being ultimate—final, fundamental, or representing the highest degree.
The word appears in philosophical and theological contexts: the ultimateness of death, the ultimateness of God's authority.
It's abstract and formal, rarely encountered outside academic writing.
