The “Size” of a Single Citta: Does a present moment of citta possess a specific, minimal temporal size or duration?
-
Divisibility of this Size: Assuming it has this minimal temporal size, is a single moment strictly indivisible? Theoretically, if one were to divide it further, would it reduce to zero or no existent thing at all?
-
Size of Materiality vs. Mentality: Does a single, discrete moment of rūpa have the exact same temporal size as a single moment of citta? (Note: Please I ansking strictly about singular, individual moments, not aggregates or streams of moments).
-
Textual Sources: Are there precise citations within the Abhidhamma Piṭaka itself, or from highly regarded commentaries, that explicitly define the temporal size of these singular discrete moments?
-
Soteriological Impact: If rūpadhammas and cittas possess a fixed, irreducible duration (āyu ), and considering the model where the lifespan of one rūpa equals exactly seventeen mind-moments (cittakkhaṇas?), what is the practical soteriological significance of this discrepancy? How does understanding this precise ratio impact the path?
