Omnipresently describes the state of being present everywhere simultaneously, or appearing to be so. It suggests a pervasive, constant presence that permeates every aspect of a situation, environment, or thought process. It implies a level of pervasiveness that leaves no space untouched or unaffected, suggesting a complete and encompassing influence. Often used in the context of divine beings, pervasive technologies, or overwhelming emotions, it can be a neutral or, depending on context, slightly negative connotation where the presence is inescapable or suffocating.
