Abstract
The manifestations (hsiang; Jap: sō) are nothing but the plurality of “determinations” posited by the function of the substance as this “delimits,” “defines,” and “embodies” itself ad infinitum. These determinations are to be primarily considered as the constrictions of the universal “mind-only” (cittamātra) into the inter-subjective web of individual conscious beings (subjective determinations) and secondarily, as the objective contents which are the correlates of experience for such “individualized” consciousness — namely, the “world-object” as such, with both its “common” (universal) and “particular” traits.
