On one side I have [state1] a nut and a bolt, side by side. On the other side, [state2] a nut fastened over a bolt. What is the difference between these two matter concentrations?
Of course, some energy has to be spent to fasten the nut. But it is not the process and the energy to bring about the process I am talking about; I am just comparing one volume in space where the nut is beside the bolt and another volume where nut is fastened over the bolt.
So, considering the nuts and the bolts on either side as matter concentrations formed out of fundamental particles,
> what could be the difference [as in energy, etc.] when I compare these two volumes of matter in space?
> That is, how and in what sense does the volume consisting of the nut fastened over the bolt differs from the other?
Thanks.
