Obliviousness is the noun: the state of not noticing, or of not knowing, what is happening around you. If someone sits through a meeting in complete obliviousness, they miss everything. You use this word when you want to talk about the quality or the state, not to describe a person (for that, use oblivious). It is a little heavier and more formal than just saying “he didn’t notice.” Same family as oblivious and oblivion — still about the mind being elsewhere, not about being on purpose, though it can look that way from the outside.
渾然不覺、毫不察覺

obliviousnessnoun

The characteristic of being oblivious.
- Things that were implicit and largely unjudged in the book, filtered through layers of stiff-upper-lip irony — Fanny’s self-pity, Linda’s obliviousness — are now foregrounded and, for the most part, rendered banal, with “Beaches”-level platitudes and sentimentality.
