unevolvable

Unable to change

Unevolvable describes something incapable of evolving or developing further.

The term appears in biology for traits or organisms that cannot adapt through natural selection, and in broader contexts for systems or ideas resistant to change: The committee declared the constitution unevolvable, refusing any amendments.

Often carries a sense of being stuck or permanently fixed.
