Yes. Those are good summaries.

#6 can be improved.

  • Vinnanakkhandha synthesizes the above four (nama and rupa).
  • Bahidda vinnana (vipaka vinnana) = only nama;  ajjhatta vinnana (kamma vinnana) is the beginning of making namarupa.
  • That “namarupa formation” enhances as the mind gets further contaminated in subsequent steps.

#7: Rupakkhandha and vinnanakkhandha help distinguish between nama, rupa, and namarupa (with kamma vinnana).
