I examine this and say: This is the fallacy of the differentiation of the predicate (dharma-viśeṣa-viparīta-sādhana). For substantial existence is the own-character of the predicate: substantial existence apart from form and mind, and substantial existence not apart from form and mind, are differentiations of the predicate. The Sarvāstivāda intention is to establish existence apart from form and mind; the formless absorption is not apart from the mind, so it is conversely a dissimilar instance, and since the reason occurs there, it constitutes the fallacy of [subverting] the differentiation.
