Please, note:

An ordered structure may be regarded as one that remains unchanged over time, a structure where each atom of matter corresponds to a particular "ordinal" place.

Accordingly, liquid, gaseous and plasma substances are not, from this point of view, ordered.

In terms of the Tarot, they would be symbolized by a "reversed" Three of Disks. Since they do, in fact, possess a particular structure, albeit a chaotic one. That is, they're based on a system that represents the antithesis of orderliness.

Liquid and gaseous substances become, at the atomic level, ordered under the influence of low temperatures.

When subjected to a certain decrease in temperature, both liquids and gases freeze and acquire a crystalline structure.

However, it should be borne in mind that any substance can transition into a liquid, solid, gaseous or plasma state38. This is achieved by heating or cooling the substance to a certain temperature.39

Fig. 1.3.5 "Reversed" Three of Disks. Water. Any liquid. Not ordered Matter. Accordingly, frozen water would be an "Upright" Three of Disks.40

Fig. 1.3.6 "Reversed" Three of Disks. A flame. Any type of combustion. Not ordered Matter.41

Fig. 1.3.7 "Reversed" Three of Disks. Smoke. Steam. Aerosols. Any gases and gas mixtures. Including ordinary air. Not ordered Matter.42

A separate place in this classification is occupied by amorphous substances.44

Such as, for instance, glass, marble, paraffin, polyethylene, etc.

Their atomic structure has features of both liquids and solids.

Therefore, glass or marble slowly "flows" and loses its original form.

But the speed of these processes is so slow (under a heavy weight, a marble beam "flows" millimeters over millennia) that, to human senses, they may be regarded as unchanged.

That is, as an "Upright" Three of Disks.

Although this isn't exactly the case.

The defining feature of the Three of Disks – the ordering of Matter (or Finance).

Human: I am the Lord of Nature!

Nature: Well, so be it, my Lord. Take your crown.

"Fours", according to the Kabbalah, represent nature and all things natural, simple forms.

Recall that Disks are the Earth Element – everything related to Material or Financial matters.
