unrelatedness
Lack of connection
Unrelatedness is the state of having no connection or relationship to something else.
The word appears mainly in formal or technical contexts: The unrelatedness of the two variables surprised researchers.
In casual speech, people more often say things are "not related" or "have nothing to do with each other."
