Wow. I love the idea that we have a word for this. Of course it's rare. Not too many situations which demand such terminology, I would think, but it's a simple enough concept that it deserves a seven-letter existence.
Let's see. This laptop is ubietous (if I may draw the parallel with "ubiquit(y/ous)"), as are most other concrete objects, but truth, justice, three, and most other abstractions are not. Also, an omnipresent deity (one of the most common kinds of deities) clearly lacks ubiety. Sweet.
u·bi·e·ty (u as in use, bi as in bite, ety as in sanity)* n. [ModL. ubeitas < L. ubi, where] [Now Rare] the condition of being in a particular place
