Speaking of Pure Octad Constituents, I was wondering what gandhabba is made of. I’ve read that the essence of a human (and animal) is in the gandhabba which contains 6 pure octads (for 5 pasada rupa and hadaya vatthu). What is different about these particles compared to those that make up the physical world? For example, how can a pure octad for chakkhu pasada rupa “see” things? I don’t know if there is something other than the fundamental units of matter in the mental body, so I would appreciate an explanation.
