[FIGURE 1978 0611-2-AB. Vesica Intersection of True and False; Senses as Entrances and Exits of Knowledge. Knowl. = Knowledge; 4th house = Nama Rupa, 5th house = 5 Senses, 6th house = 5 Karma Indriyas (5KI); Pr. entity = Prakritic entity; FAEW = Fire Air Earth Water. Facsimile scan from AB class notes.]

Nyaya view is from vesica (manas) -- True and False are both extrinsic (external to manas). Buddhist -- whole 11th and 12th is false, only 10th (alaya) true.
