Answer: Because they possess three characteristics, it does not condition them: 1. because they are an antidote: namely, being untainted, they act as an antidote to defiled dharmas and can also destroy tainted dharmas; 2. because their essential natures are distinct: the eighth is exclusively indeterminate, while untainted seeds are exclusively of a wholesome nature; 3. because they are not mutually compliant: untainted seeds do not comply with the tainted eighth consciousness, for the untainted wholesome nature does not comply with the indeterminate nature. Therefore it does not condition them.
