Fire is definitely closer to plasma than pure energy, but "earth, air, fire, and water" are more of an artistic way of thinking about life, at this point. So we fudge things a bit. They didn't know about radiation/electromagnetic-waves back then.
But unlike you, they knew that fire is not energy
Also, there were sometimes 5 elements, with an extra "aether" or "spirit" included, which we could say is more like what we call electromagnetic waves, but I like the Native American and Wiccan 4 types, personally. Mostly because the songs are so pretty.https://youtu.be/RyVctWoMgvA
Spirit is software. Aether is the vacuum substrate. The latter has a relationship to electromagnetic waves (the 3space we inhabit is the electromagnetic interaction space), but it's not the same.
Yeah, in the 5 category system spirit/aether (which are both the fifth thing after earth, air, fire, and water, just in different cultures) is more pure energy, or something. With just 4, fire includes all of the most energetic things from fire to plasma to information/waves.
You don’t seem to understand the nature of energy. But you are confident that you can translate the ontologies of all other cultures into your own hobbyist philosophy. Whatever does not fit will be made to fit. What motivates you to do that? Is it really serving your purposes?
How would you explain energy, as it relates to matter, especially. I'm very curious to hear all the diverse definitions people have. I collect them all! :-)
In a first approximation, there are two types of energy: information fluctuating in place (mass) and mass translating in space (momentum). A deeper understanding requires a model of the relationship between entropy, time and conservation of information.
How do you define information, as different from energy?
For the canonical definitions, look up and fully digest Shannon and Fisher. Very informally, Shannon information is the unexpected part of a message, Fisher information is the measure of what an observation tells you about what caused the observation.
