Is this related to internal and external āyatana? So during Paticca Samuppada, I would assume viññana paccaya internal and external nāmarupa, internal and external nāmarupa paccaya internal and external āyatana. External āyatana will (?) appear as kamma vipaka in the future. When the external and internal āyatana meet, that is samphasso. When salāyatana nirrodho for arahants, external āyatana is still present but internal āyatana is gone, so there is no samphasso. Likewise when an external āyatana of different nature from internal āyatana meet, there is no samphasso too (eg apple in contact with tongue craving chocalate = no samphasso)
