“So, until someone comes up with a single word that describes God as:”

“everywhere beyond, omnipresent within, unconstrained by and unbound to time and space — in all their possible dimensions...”,

The word is Holy. It encompasses His distance and His closeness and yet preserves His “otherness”.

Isa. 57:15, “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
