Fa's Record says: Regarding "those that are non-conceptual": Question: Are the four phrases such as "each not mutually identical" taken together? Answer: Yes. This is because the preceding three phrases are the approach of identity, hence they are the approach of substance. The phrase "not mutually identical" is the approach of the middle, hence it is the approach of the stages not shifting. Because the stages do not shift, they are able to enter into one another and form a single unity; therefore they are taken together. The meaning of not being mutually identical is said to be unfathomably non-conceptual.
