I may not have discussed the following point in the above-referred post, “Is Cakkhu Viññāṇa Free of Defilements?“
- The chart in #3 in that post shows kamma generation in two stages: “purāṇa kamma” (initial weak kamma) and “nava kamma” (new strong kamma).
- The beginning of the “purāṇa kamma” stage is where initial kamma generation takes place with “avijjā paccayā saṅkhāra; saṅkhāra paccayā viññāna.” These saṅkhāra are not potent, and they are called saṅkappa. This can be called the “vipāka viññāna” stage. That is why it is called “avyākata.”
- Potent kamma (that can bring vipaka in future lives) happens in the “nava kamma” stage with saṅkhāra. That happens after the “taṇhā paccayā upādāna” step (with strong kamma with speech and actions with the physical body: lying, stealing, etc.)
- More information in “Purāna and Nava Kamma – Sequence of Kamma Generation.”
