Discussions on Space from last nights class

For those of you who participated in a discussion on compounded and uncompounded space after the philosophy class last night. I found the reference to my comment that compounded space is an object of eye consciousness. It can be found on page 233 of Meditations on Emptiness by J Hopkins.

Space appears both to an eye consciousness and a mental consciousness and thus the bluish space that appears to an eye consciousness is a visible form whereas the space that appears to a mental consciousness is form a mental consciousness.

I think there is still some room for further discussions on the ontology of uncompunded space.
