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.

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 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%B0)]. This is achieved by heating or cooling the substance to a certain temperature.[39 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4)]

A separate place in this classification is occupied by amorphous substances.[44 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_solid (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%84%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0)]
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).
.
Four of Disks
.
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.
That which you can actually touch and feel in reality, like Matter.
Or the Financial aspect of Being.
Thus, the Four of Disks is Matter in its "simple", natural form.
Or a simple form of Finance.
A boulder or a coin, for example.
