Reference: The KHTK Factors
KHTK Factor # 1-3: And thus there is substance.
The Unknowable has no substance. But the postulates manifest, and are knowable. So, postulates are substantial enough to be sensed. In other words, postulates do have substance.
This substance is familiar to us as thoughts. Thoughts are not nothing.
Thus, the very fact of knowable postulates means that there is substance.

Scientology
In Scientology, the beginning of substance as postulates is not stated explicitly. Instead, substance is assumed to be part of the general concept of Effect. See KHTK Factor # 1.
.
Logic
Logically, a substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed. The idea of substance is not limited to just matter and energy.

A substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed. We know matter to be substance. But we can sense light; therefore light also is a substance. We can sense thought, so thought too is a substance.
The universe is made of substance: Thought, energy and matter. As thought condenses it takes on the stimulus-response characteristics of energy. As energy condenses it takes on the characteristics of matter.
So, there is a spectrum of substance that is consistent from thought to energy to matter.
