2. Section on Form Outline 583. Which phenomena are indeterminate? The results of wholesome and unwholesome phenomena, the feeling aggregate, the perception aggregate, the volitional formations aggregate, the consciousness aggregate, which are of the sense-sphere, of the form-sphere, of the formless-sphere, or not included (in these spheres); and those functional phenomena which are neither wholesome nor unwholesome nor results of kamma; and all form; and the unconditioned element – these phenomena are indeterminate. Matrix The One 584. Therein, what is all form? The four great primary elements, and form derived from the four great primary elements – this is called all form. All form is not a root, rootless, disconnected from roots, conditioned, compounded, form, mundane, with defilements, with fetters, with ties, with floods, with yokes, with hindrances, grasped, with clinging, with defilement, indeterminate, without an object, without mental factors, disconnected from consciousness, neither result nor result-producing, undefiled but defiling, not with initial application and sustained application, not merely with sustained application, without initial application and sustained application, not accompanied by joy, not accompanied by happiness, not accompanied by equanimity, not to be abandoned by seeing nor by development, not having a cause to be abandoned by seeing nor by development, neither leading to accumulation nor to diminution, neither trainee nor non-trainee, limited, of the sense-sphere, not of the form-sphere, not of the formless-sphere, included, not not-included, undetermined, not leading to liberation, arisen, to be known by six consciousnesses, impermanent, overcome by decay. Thus, the compilation of form in one way. The One. The Two The compilation of form in two ways – There is form that is clung to, there is form that is not clung to. There is form that is grasped, there is form that is not grasped. There is form that is grasped and clung to, there is form that is not grasped but clung to. There is form that is visible, there is form that is invisible. There is form that is impinging, there is form that is non-impinging. There is form that is an faculty, there is form that is not an faculty. There is There is matter that is a great element, there is matter that is not a great element. There is matter that is intimation, there is matter that is not intimation. There is matter arisen from mind, there is matter not arisen from mind. There is matter co-existent with mind, there is matter not co-existent with mind. There is matter following after mind, there is matter not following after mind. There is matter internal, there is matter external. There is matter gross, there is matter subtle. There is matter far, there is matter near. There is matter that is the basis for eye-contact, there is matter that is not the basis for eye-contact. There is matter that is the basis for feeling arisen from eye-contact… …for perception… …for volition… …for eye-consciousness, there is matter that is not the basis for eye-consciousness.

There is matter that is the eye-base, there is matter that is not the eye-base. There is matter that is the ear-base… …the nose-base… …the tongue-base… …the body-base, there is matter that is not the body-base. There is matter that is the form-base, there is matter… There is matter that is not the visual object sphere. There is matter that is the sound sphere, there is matter that is not the sound sphere. There is matter that is the smell sphere, there is matter that is not the smell sphere. There is matter that is the taste sphere, there is matter that is not the taste sphere.

There is matter that is the impermanence of matter, there is matter that is not the impermanence of matter. There is matter that is nutriment of edible food, there is matter that is not nutriment of edible food. Thus is the collection of matter in two ways. The Dyad. The Triad. The collection of matter in three ways – That matter which is internal, that is derived. That which That external form, it is clinging, it is not clinging. That internal form, it is clung to. That external form, it is clung to, it is not clung to. That internal form, it is clung to and a basis for clinging. That external form, it is clung to and a basis for clinging, it is not clung to and not a basis for clinging. That internal form, it is invisible. That external form, it is visible, it is invisible. That internal form, it is with impingement. That external form, it is with impingement, it is without impingement. That internal form, it is a faculty. That external form, it is a faculty, it is not a faculty. That internal form, it is not a great element. That external form, it is a great element, it is not a great element. That internal form, it is not intimation. That external form, it is intimation, it is not intimation. That internal form, it is not mind-originated. That external form, it is mind-originated, it is not mind-originated. That internal form, it is not co-existent with mind. That external form, it is co-existent with mind, it is not co-existent with mind. That internal form, it is not mind-dependent. That external form, it is mind-dependent, it is not mind-dependent. That internal form, it is gross. That external form, it is gross, it is subtle. That internal form, it is near. That external form, it is far, it is near. That external form, it is not an object of eye-contact. That internal form, it is an object of eye-contact, it is not an object of eye-contact. That external form, it is eye For feeling born of eye-contact, for perception, for volition, for eye-consciousness, it is not a basis. That form which is internal, it is a basis for eye-consciousness, it is not a basis for eye-consciousness. That form which is external, it is not a basis for ear-contact, for nose-contact, for tongue-contact, for body-contact. That form which is internal, it is a basis for body-contact, it is not a basis for body-contact. That form which is external, it is not a basis for feeling born of body-contact, for perception, for volition, for body-consciousness. That form which is internal,
