Classical physics had great explanatory power in explaining the gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter. Gases were explained as matter in which molecules were widely dispersed and move freely, offering little resistance to change of shape and little resistance to change of volume. This explanation is clearly consistent with observations as to how gases behave. Liquids were explained as having sufficient molecular attractions as to resist forces tending to change their volume but not their shape. This explanation, again, is consistent with the behavior of liquids. Solids were described as having resistance to any change in shape and in volume as a result of the strong attraction between their molecules. This explains quite well the nature of solids. Some physicists treat plasma as a fourth state of matter. With plasma there is said to be nearly an equal number of negative and positive ions in a assumed collection of charged gaseous particles. The presuppositions underlying concepts of ionization, however, have a lesser explanatory power than those underlying the gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter.

Classical physicists generally presuppose that time, space, and motion, and consequentially matter, is finitely divisible. Those classical physicists who accept the infinity of time and space generally assume that time is infinite in duration and space in infinite in extension but do not believe that the infinite number of spacial and temporal units of manifestations are infinitely divisible. Thus, under classical physics, the states of matter, whether gaseous, liquid, and solid, do not depend upon the point of observation and matter is clearly categorized as being of these three states of manifestations, with the possible exception of matter with plasma characteristics.

Matter as established by the Enfolding Universe differs greatly from matter under classical physics. Various papers on the Enfolding Universe set forth its approach to matter. Matter results from the ever-present centrifugal movement from microcosm to macocosm and the ever-present centripetal movement from macrocosm to microcosm. Form and force are preconditions for matter, with the interplay of force and form giving rise to the diverse and various phenomena of our unverse. These phenomena are treated by scientists as the behavior of matter

As discussed under Montons, Cosmic Unity, and the Two-Way Flow, matter in the form of a photon or an uniton originates at the pont of merger of a montonic point of origination with a montonic point of extinction, giving rise in our segue to time, space, and matter. The gaseous, liquid, and solid states necessarily are states of matter, with their manifestation dependent the synchronous folds of force and form. Thus, matter itself originates at centripetal and centrifugal points and thereafter may participate in centripetal flows towards the microcosm or centrigual flows towards the macrocosm. The manner in which these flows are related to one another, in turn, determines whether the combined flows leads to the manifestation of the inter-related flows as gaseous, liquid, or solid.

The nature of manifestation, as established by the Enfolding Universe, along with its postulates and working hypotheses, offer great explanatory power in describing the gaseous, liquid, and solid states of so-called matter. In the gaseous state, there is no equilibrium between centripetal and centrifugal forces, with these forces going towards both the microcosm and the microcosm. With a fluid, the centrifugal flow ceases to operate towards the macocosm but the centripetal flow towards the microcosm continues to operate. This explanation describes the behavior of gases and liquids and the lack of resistance that gases have to both shape and volume and the lack of resistance of liquids to change in shape. Shape is necessarily a product of centripetal forces and volume a product of centrifugal forces. Solids have resistance to changes both in shape and voume. This resistance results from the equilibium between centripetal and centrifugal forces that solids have. The fact that these forces are no longer going towards the microcosm and the macrocosm gives volume and shape to solids.

Whether matter is observed as gaseous, liquid, or solid depends upon and is relative to the viewpoint of the observer and his location in the eternal and infinite sea of spacial-temporal manifestations. A segue that goes from what scientists treat as the frequency of the photon of light to the extrapolated so-called velocity of light is necessarily comprised of many units of maniferstations that at various levels of manifestations might be treated as gaseous, liquid, or solid. The segue itself might act as an unit of manifestation with the solid attributes and, at the same time, might participate in units of manifestations with fluid and gaseous attributes. These characteristics are clearly derived from the nature of the Enfolding Universe resulting from synchronous enfolding of force and form.

The manifestation of matter is infinite, with matter`s being infinitely divisible into macroscopic and microscopic ranges of manifestations. These ranges are necessarily infinite in number. As discussed above under The Relative Nature of States of Matter, matter is infinitely divisible into gaseous, fluid, and solid ranges of manifestation, thereby making matter`s manifestation as gaseos, liquid, or solid dependent upon the point of observation. The infinite range of manifestations is an essential feature of the infinite divisibity of time, space, and motion, and their relative nature, in the Enfolding Universe.
