Would it make sense to call it that which experiences (life)? Or is the question of what it is that experiences life one of the "classical unanswered (unaskable?) questions"?

That sort of definition doesn't really indicate anything specific, does it? It's just proposing a definition with the assumption of an unobserved object.

The thing about the khandas is that experience is a symphony, not a solo act. There's not a single observer in there anywhere; it's a system of feedback mechanisms inter-regulating each other.

Of course, I could be wrong.
