The transformation or manifestation of energy into matter and matter into energy can be classified into five general states and forces between expansion (Yin) and contraction (Yang). These states or forces comprise the five elements of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood and generally referred to as the Five-Element Theory.


These states and forces can be represented as other
