thats good, quite deep. The reason i needed the word was for a lyric to push the story forward.

Just had a discussion about respect, but I really think either we should discard respect or hold it in high esteem, but currently everyone is demanding respect without showing respect for others (and that's outside my frame of thought, so I'm kinda dislocated about it). So the word can't be respect.
 
Love is a silly concept we all adore, so I would love that word to be the one.
 
Give, take and love.

Ah, the old The Bottled Imp idea, as nicely told by Robert Louis Stevenson in the short story of the same name.  An interesting concept indeed.

I don't think it has a name though, that concept, unless someone knows better.

Is it a noun?

I suggest "reverberative."
