Composition

ma (matter) + ra (force/energy) = matter in a force/energy state.

Definition

plasma / ionized matter; matter in an energy-excited or charge- separated state; at atomic scale: an ion (atom with net charge); at bulk scale: plasma (the fourth state of matter, in which electrons are separated from atomic nuclei throughout the material).

Notes

ma-ra is scale-agnostic: the same compound applies whether describing a single ion (one ma-ra particle) or a bulk plasma (a volume of ma-ra). This is semantically clean — plasma is bulk ionized matter; an ion is an individual instance of the same condition. The compound captures the defining property (matter in an energy/force state) at both scales. Already noted in notes/anchor-inventory.md §Atomic and molecular compounds table as a compositional chemistry term, not requiring CVC form. The four-state sequence: su'ma (solid) / ki'ma (liquid) / no-su'ma (gas) / ma-ra (plasma) maps onto increasing energy input: adding energy to su'ma produces ki'ma, then no-su'ma, then ma-ra. The compounds encode this: structure → flow → no-structure → force-state.
