unconstrained

Without any limits

Unconstrained means free from restrictions or limitations.

An unconstrained budget has no spending limits.

Unconstrained growth proceeds without checks.

The word often appears in technical contexts—unconstrained optimization in mathematics, or unconstrained movement in physics.

More loosely, unconstrained behavior is uninhibited: She laughed with unconstrained delight.
