”corporeal group”, material unit, designates a combination of several physical phenomena constituting a temporary unity. Thus, for instance, the so-called ”dead matter” forms the most primitive group, consisting only of 8 physical phenomena, called the ”pure eightfold unit” or ”octad” (suddhatthakakala^pa), to wit: the 4 elements (the solid, fluid, heat, motion); colour, smell, taste, nutriment (pathavi^, a^po, tejo, va^yo; vanna, gandha, rasa, oja^). In Vis.M., and elsewhere, it is also called ojatthamaka-kala^pa, ”the octad with nutriment as the 8th factor”.
The simplest form of living matter is the ”9-fold vitality unit” or ”life-ennead” (ji^vita-navaka-kala^pa), formed by adding ”vitality” to the octad. Seven decades, or units of ten (dasaka-kala^pa), are formed by adding to the 9-fold unit one of the following corporeal phenomena: heart (physical seat of mind), sex, eye, ear, nose, tongue or body. - See Vis.M. XVIII, 4; Compendium of Buddhist Philosophy (PTS), p. 164, 250; Atthasa^lini Tr., II, 413f.
”visual object”, designates the external of visual physical phenomenon (”light wave”) that forms the base consciousness. Cf. a^yatana (2).
