Dear Dimitry,
The processes are happening very quickly, maybe not so easy to be
certain to just what is occurring and when.
From commentary translation of Samyutta nikaya by Bhikkhu Bodhi
(p771 vol 1): "..one citta is
not able to endure for a whole day or a whole night. Even in the
time
of a fingersnap many hundred thousands of kotis of cittas arise
and
cease.(1 koti =10 million)" Endquote.

Many, many different phasso occur in a split second.
