The dhammās exist in their subtlest state.
The arguments given in Kathāvattuppakarana: Sarvāstivādins: „All the five dhammās exist but not always and not everyware and in the sense of form.“ (This theory is called by Theravāda 'Suddhikanaya' ='pure logic'. Theravādins: „If the material aggregate does not give up its materiality (rūpabhava) then rūpabhāva becomes permanent, eternally existing like Nibbāna.“ Sarvāstivādins: „Rūpabhava is different from Nibbānabhava.“ Theravādins: They asked whethe the past (atīta) gives up its pastness (atītabhava). Sarvāstivādins: „No, it doesn't. When the atītabhāva exists, anāgatabhāva and paccuppannabhava do not exist like atītabhāva, when the anāgatabhāva exists atītabhāva does not exist like anāgatabhāva.“
