Refuting existence of substantially established functional things as a basis for time

Narrow Down
- Refutation by examining whether or not things have duration
- A thing that has no duration cannot possibly exist
- Two cognitions do not apprehend one object
- If time has duration, duration is not time.
- Since things and impermanence are one, there is no duration
- Subsequent reversal is unfeasible if impermanence is weaker
- Nothing will have duration if impermanence is stronger
- What was permanent will later be impermanent if duration is stronger
- Refuting that both duration and impermanence exist together
