Of Holes and A-Holes

So...

Matter = material

Form = immaterial

Matter cannot be without form, although it is formless. Form cannot be without matter, although it is "matter-less".

Is that a correct reflection of the position you hold, Chad?

Something like that. It's a generally Aristotelian conception of Reality.

Not really. According to Aristotle, both matter and form can be perceived by senses, so they'd both be considered material.

I call the first Primal Matter, that principle whose only attribute is being. The second I call the Ideal Form, the informing principle that serves as the basis of all particular forms.

That's Platonian, not Aristotelian.
