I've been following this discussion silently until now, and I've been trying to come up with some ideas of my own in case I could provide any help. If I have this right, you're now trying to have some kind of aspect that channels the powers of Life into different ways than the official Life class does (oversimplified, perhaps, or maybe I nailed it with that).

And now it looks like you only really need a name for this aspect, if you're both content with it. Perhaps I would have been better coming up with this idea before, while you were on the subject of antimatter/matter but it could still work here.

Charge.

Yeah, it might not seem like much of an aspect name, but hear me out. Outhra, as you (hopefully?) well know, there's the Scourge class in The Othustuck Expansion. Scourge and Charge? See what I'm getting at with that?

Charge can be a reference to electrical charge. This provides a contrast with nature already (technology vs. nature), but also an electrical charge is a store of power. To me, this seems to be what this aspect is supposed to be doing from the descriptions both of you have provided, at least until it unleashes it in some way.

However, it could also be a reference to a rush or headlong strike. The fact that the aspect is based after a physical movement might imply great power (as this seems like a pretty powerful aspect to me), and due to its known associations with bulls and rams (Team Charge, for example), it has links to fauna and thus to nature.

If you don't want to use this word, sure, that's fine. I can use it for something of my own anyway. Heck, I might have derailed this whole conversation just by adding my penny's worth. Maybe it's not even a penny. Anyway, sorry for butting in like this. Peace.
