rūpa-kalāpa: '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' (suddhatthakakalāpa), to wit: the 4 elements (the solid,
fluid, heat, motion); colour, smell, taste, nutriment (pathavī, āpo, tejo,
vāyo; vanna, gandha, rasa, ojā). In Vis.M, and elsewhere, it is also
called ojatthamaka-kalāpa, 'the octad with nutriment as the 8th factor'.
The simplest form of living matter is the '9-fold vitality
unit' or 'life-ennead' (jīvita-navaka-kalāpa), formed by adding
'vitality' to the octad. Seven decades, or units of ten (dasaka-kalāpa),
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. -
