Matter, alternatively translated as Event or Phenomenon, is a concept and a Race of Demons Shin Megami Tensei V.
Profile
Matter is a term that is not clearly defined, but is largely associated with the cycle of world recreation, the Mandala System, and the entities that work on it's behalf.[1][2][3] Many of these beings are depicted as transcendent deities who rarely manifest themselves in the human world.[4][5][6]

It was then I came to understand this world. Allow me to share what I'd learned. Following the world's recreation, a new Da'at will eventually appear, and soon after the gods will rise up to claim the throne. At which time, the Nahobino of that world will destroy you, and the throne will once again receive a new ruler. This endless cycle is the result of a spatial governing phenomenon known as the "Mandala System." Do you not wish to be free of such restrictions? Do you not wish to be free from Mandala's eternal machinations? Long have I searched for a way to truly be free. At last, I have found but one possibility. End me. Consume my Knowledge. And with it, wrest this world from the Mandala's endless eons. This is the reason for my transcendence." Shin Megami Tensei V. Developed by ATLUS. Translation by ATLUS.
