Here are some examples of STEMs at work, showing how subcomponents of a  system may have an individual objective different than that of the whole system...

Yet Even in the greater system, such as the supermarket above, the process always comes down to the same universal principles. Here, matter is exchanged for money - the doer of society ("I can't do anything tonight - I don't have any money...").

Money seems to be the "energy" of society, thus, the above example is an exchange of matter for "energy". We earn it by doing something for a period of time. When too much money moves around, we get an inflation in prices- just as energy causes an atom to inflate or a gas to expand.

Money that has no immediate use goes into storage in a bank. If one does not need the money for a period of time, it becomes a denser, enduring form - a fat - we call them bonds. If we want to keep our money in a state beyond national currency, we go one step further into the classic fixed assets of gold or land.

Gold just happens to be inert - or about as close to a timeless mass as one can realistically get - a vast quantity of energy trapped in time. Land, on the other hand, is a matter of "Location, location, location", they say: Quite correct - the closer ones' proximity to a wealth of energy, the more valuable space becomes (resulting in a high-pressure sale, no doubt!).

STEM's allow one to compare the seemingly incomparable, creating metaphors that may be as much truths.
