Yes. The Idappaccayatā Paṭicca Samuppāda running at the cuti-patisandhi moment can be labeled “uppatti Paṭicca samuppāda” because that explains the arising of a new existence (for example, leaving the human existence and grasping an animal or Deva existence.) 

  • But that is just another version of the Idappaccayatā Paṭicca Samuppāda.
  • One thing to note is that the arammana (sensory input) in that particular situation is initiated by accumulated kammic energy, i.e., by a “janaka kamma.” That is described only in Abhidhamma (not critical to understand), but it is good to remember.
