I asked ChatGPT, *Is vedana a sanskhara?*
Following is its answer:
> In Buddhist philosophy, "vedanā" (feeling or sensation) is distinct
> from "saṅkhāra" (mental formations or volitional activities), though
> they are both components of the Five Aggregates (pañca-khandha) which
> constitute a being.
>
> The Five Aggregates are:
> 1. **Rūpa**: Form or physical body.
> 2. **Vedanā**: Feeling or sensation (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral experiences).
> 3. **Saññā**: Perception or recognition.
> 4. **Saṅkhāra**: Mental formations or volitional formations (includes all types of mental activities such as intentions, thoughts, desires,
> and emotions).
> 5. **Viññāṇa**: Consciousness.
>
> So, vedanā is not the same as saṅkhāra. Vedanā refers specifically to
> the experiences of pleasure, pain, or neutrality, whereas saṅkhāra
> encompasses a broader range of mental activities and processes,
> including the volitional acts that condition future experiences and
> actions.
