Matter

Matter is a continuous physical field displaying properties of positive mass, negative dimension and ambiguous polarity. In matterspace cosmology, matter acts as the complement of space (negative mass, positive dimension, ambiguous polarity) within the Aether, which is fully partitioned by the two sets.

Matter can be further partitioned by polarity (author's note: return later to define polarity), yielding five subsets (known as the quintessential elements): Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Adamant. All fields of uniform polarity (material or spatial) naturally undergo the process of crystallization, a process in which the field will take on a fractal structure. In matter, this yields the superstructure of state (phase) and shape.
