Diffusively

In a manner characterized by or involving diffusion; that is, spreading or scattering widely, especially in a way that lacks a clear focus or defined boundary. This can refer to the movement of particles, the spread of information, or the dispersion of a substance, energy or emotion. It implies a process of permeation, distribution, or expansion over a broader area, often lacking a concentrated point or structured form. The degree of diffusiveness may vary from slow and subtle to rapid and pervasive, yet it always reflects a lack of containment or centralisation.
