I think the data flow is like this, using sight as an example:

External rupa –> physical eyes –> brain –> pasada rupa –> hadaya vatthu (which vibrates 17 times that make up a citta vithi)

Phassa actually happens at the pasada rupa –> hadaya vatthu, correct? If it is samphassa, then the cittā that arise are contaminated (in 9 stages I believe); and if it’s a neutral phassa then the cittā that arise are not contaminated, such as cittā of an arahant.
