Concurrence of Logical Antecedents in more detail


Perception develops into Cognition (phassa) 

8. What is perceived through the five senses (pañca indriya) is brought to the thinking brain or cerebral cortex (mano), which uses rational thought and memory to give meaning to what was perceived. This way a percept (viññāṇa) is transformed into a concept (dhamma). Through this process of conception an entity in the form of an image (rūpa) is created with an identity in the form of a name (nāma). This way a world made of Six Sensual Realms (saḷāyatana): of vision, sound, smell, taste, touch, and concepts (dhamma) comes into being. 

9. With the coming of the world of Sensual Realms, cognition (phassa) is completed and a world consciousness arises. 

10. Cognition (phassa) is completed by being Conscious of an external world.
