Fourteen factors are neither material nor mental and
are dissociated from thought (cittaviprayukta). They
are:

collection of elements in an individual life-
continuum, which links an acquired object
with its owner - Dispossession (aprapti), which separates an ac-
quired object from its owner - Homogeneity (sabhagata)
- Nonperception (asamjñika), a force that leads
one to the attainment of nonperception - Attainment of nonperception (asamjñisama-
patti), which is produced by the effort to enter
trance after having stopped perceptions
