This term describes a presence that is woven into the very fabric of a thing rather than being an external force acting upon it. It suggests a deep, intrinsic connection where the quality or power is inseparable from the object itself. It is most frequently encountered in metaphysical or theological discussions to describe a deity that dwells within the universe. It carries a sense of intimacy and pervasive existence, contrasting with the idea of a remote or distant creator.
