and rejoins the remaining two to reform the triad. This is the example of the minimum intervening period. Aggregates (skandhs) of three to infinite paramanus (ultimate-particles) get disintegrated. For a long time they continue to integrate and disintegrate to form a variety of aggregates (skandhs). After the lapse of an infinite period they combine together to regain the original form either through some effort or naturally. This is the example of the maximum intervening period. The same holds true for inexpressible substances.
In case of the non-sequential substances although the minimum intervening period is same, the maximum is immeasurable time. The reason for this is that a free paramanu (ultimate-particle) can remain bonded with another paramanu (ultimate-particle) or triad ( and other sequential aggregates ) only for immeasurable period. After that the bond is broken. Bhagavati sutra (5 / 69 ) confirms this - ' A free paramanu (ultimate-particle) can remain free only for a maximum period of immeasurable time after which it necessarily undergoes a transformation.' This rule is applicable to aggregates (skandhs) of two to infinite paramanus (ultimate-particles). (Anuyogadvara by Acharya Mahaprajna p. 103)
