There are multiple references to a matter stream. The system does a matter-energy-matter conversion, but the final matter is (typically) sourced from the starting matter. Whether that counts as moving the matter is dubious, to say the least. It’s like disassembling a Lego set, melting down the bricks, casting new bricks from the melted plastic, and then building the set again. Is it the same set?
