Sayadaw divides the wheel of dependent origination into five causes (ignorance, volitional formations, craving, clinging and existence) which lead to five results of rebirth (consciousness, mentality-materiality, the sense bases, contact and feeling). That's cool. I had not seen it that way before. The 'results' are the aggregates. I just had the weird sensation that none of these ten are actions, they are all dependent things that create an illusion of action.
The wheel turns as if by spell,
the sea rolls out again.
The day takes on the cloak of night,
when her gathering is done.
