[If it is argued that] because material form and such things possess the characteristics of the conditioned, [they are] conditioned, [but] not space and such things, and therefore there is a distinction between material form and such things on one hand and cessation through discernment and such [dharmas] on the other - this is the view held by others - [we reply that] this is incorrect, because there are these four characteristics of the conditioned: birth, decay, duration, and impermanence.
