If the word "aether" includes particles, then THEY are what constitute those states of matter. (Amorphous matter has no such states.) It is well known that the state of a group of particles (atoms and molecules) depends on their relations -- connections -- to each other; and so does the condition -- density and pressure -- of the intervening easily movable resistively-compressible etheric matter. glird

A=mc^2, where A is aether. The effect the increase in volume matter has when it transitions to aether is energy.
