Scientology provides the following definitions for MEST.
.
Scientology Technical Dictionary
“MEST, 1. a coined word, meaning matter, energy, space and time, the physical universe. All physical phenomena may be considered as energy operating in space and time. The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta.”
In Scientology, MEST refers to physical substance, physical space and physical time. In short, by MEST, Scientology refers to the material or physical universe that operates mechanically. Scientology differentiates MEST from Theta (thought substance).
“MEST, 2. the symbol for the physical universe in use hereafter is mest, from the first letters of the words matter, energy, space and time, or the Greek letter phi (ø).”
See above.
“MEST, 3. simply a composite of energies and particles and spaces which are agreed upon and which are looked at.”
MEST is the outcome of postulates.
“MEST, 4. a solid object, and the space and energy and so forth which comprise such solid objects.”
In Scientology, MEST is identified with the solidity of matter.
“MEST, 5. any or all arrangements of energy, of whatever kind, whether in fluid or object form, in space or spaces.”
Thought is also a type of energy, but it is not included in MEST.

Subject Clearing
Anything manifested is knowable. Anything knowable has some substance. Thought, Energy and Matter are all knowable. They are the basic substance. Thought appears as “empty space,” energy has “energy space,” and matter has “material space.” From thought to energy to matter we have increasing condensation of substance. Time provides a measure of that condensation.
MEST is an acronym formed from the initial letters matter, energy, space and time. MEST, therefore, represents the whole spectrum of substance from thought to energy to matter, that has the characteristics of space and time. Substance does not exclude thought.
Scientology makes the error of limiting the designation of “MEST” to the physical universe of energy and matter. But MEST equally describes the thought universe. In short, MEST is properly the designation for the “Knowable universe.”

Comments
Hahahhaa! It is funny that this made me see it in the opposite direction which is even more enlightening!!!
MEST, understood from human towards spirit.
TESM, understood as the actual creation sequence.
Let me explain…
TIME is a SEQUENCE OF DIFFERENTIATION. So there must be A DIFFERENCE before a comparison can be made.
Therefore a thetan creates/perceives a difference, then organizes it in previous-after fashion, which equates to CAUSE-EFFECT sometimes. Then TIME HAS BEEN CREATED AS A FRAME OF THOUGHT.
Then comes ENERGY.
The CHANGE, the rearrangement of two or more things, needs ENERGY which comes from the CONNECTION and EXCHANGE of SPACES between two or more UNITS OF TIME.
Then comes MATTER.
The energy does solidify and start to be more fixed (less CHANGE, which equates to PERSISTENCE, which equates to SPACES WITH LESS CHANGE withing SPACES WITH MORE CHANGE).
And there you have RELATIVITY devised by Einstein and now explained by me withouth mathematics.
And there you have MEST, from abstract to solid.
From pure creation (own’s) to reality (agreed upon or not).
Here is my response to what you wrote above:
1. There cannot be Time without substance. The differentiation occurs in substance.
2. Substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed.
3. There are three categories of substance: (1) Matter, (2) Energy, (3) Thought.
4. Space and Time are properties of substance.
5. There is matter-space, energy-space and thought-space.
6. There is matter-time, energy-time and thought-time.
7. Scientology lacks proper understanding of physics.
8. The Physics in the West fails to recognize thought as a substance.
