Fig. 1.2.7 Two of Disks. An electric stove. Fast electrons "stir up" the atoms of the burner, and it heats up. What's more, if the burner is glowing like a light bulb, then this is also a Five of Swords and a Ten of Wands. 32

Please, note:
"Pure" colors, such as blue, green, red, yellow, etc., are a rather conditional and rare thing.
Accordingly, "pure cards", described by just one set of symbols, are likewise quite conditional and rare.

You can name a color or a card based on the predominance of a certain color or set of symbols.
For example, by 80-90%.
The author will present both more or less "pure" and "mixed cards".

Three of Disks
.
At a Customs office.
– Open your suitcase, please.
– But I don't have a suitcase!
– That doesn't matter. The same rules apply to everyone!

"Threes", according to the Kabbalah, represent order, clarity, the system.
Thus, the Three of Disks is a systematizing or ordering of Matter or Finance.
For example, it may symbolize a system by which Matter or Finances are organized.

Fig. 1.3.1 Three of Disks. Orderly Finances – the bills are strapped into bundles. Some disorganized bills are lying nearby ("reversed" Three of Disks). 34

Fig. 1.3.2 Three of Disks. Ordered Matter. Cobblestone pavement. The cobblestone is laid out according to a certain system. 35

Fig. 1.3.3 Three of Disks. Ordered Matter. The stones are laid out according to an adaptive system. The stone used is the one best suited in terms of size. At least on one plane, Matter has been ordered, and this order is maintained. A "reversed" 3 Three of Disks, in this case, looks like a bunch of stones piled in a heap. 36
.
Fig. 1.3.4 Three of Disks. Atomic or crystal lattice. Thus, all solid physical substances and materials are, in this sense, a Three of Disks. 37

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 state 38 . 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

Fig. 1.3.8 "Reversed" Three of Disks. Plasma. Not ordered Matter. 43
.
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.
