*  Collocation: All visible objects are formed by the grouping and regrouping of the five elements. The differences we see in substances (like hardness or fluidity) are due to different collocations or structural arrangements of these elements.

Interestingly, some scholars have noted that the Samkhya doctrine of matter bears striking similarities to modern physical concepts. The view of the **Gunas** as fundamental principles of mass, energy, and intelligence, and the concept of **Tanmatras** as underlying subtle vibratory potentials, aligns with modern wave mechanics and energy-matter relationships. Unlike Greek atomism, which emphasizes quantitative differences in atoms, Samkhya emphasizes the **qualitative evolution** of matter from a single primordial source.
