How do nāma & rūpa relate to arūpa & rūpa worlds in Buddhist Cosmology?

Five Aggregates (pañca khandha) categorize:
rūpa = rūpa (Form)
nāma = vedanā (feeling), sañña (perception), saṅkhāra (formation/volition), viññāṇa (consciousness)

Buddhist Cosmology (31 planes of existence) categorize:
arūpa(near-form-less), rūpa (form) and Kāma (sense) worlds.

How do nāma & rūpa relate to arūpa & rūpa worlds in Buddhist Cosmology?

Additional Details

@Fake Genius,
No. that's not what the question asked. Let me explain it with more sub-questions.
1. rūpa in Five Aggregates = rūpa world in Buddhist Cosmology ?
2. nāma in Five Aggregates = arūpa world in Buddhist Cosmology ?

3. If so, does arūpa world (Ākāsānañcāyatana, Viññāṇañcāyatana, Ākiñcaññāyatana, Nevasaññānāsaññāyatana) in Buddhist Cosmology contain nāma in Five Aggregates (vedanā, sañña, saṅkhāra, viññāṇa)?

Hope this will clarify the question of [nāma & rūpa in Five Aggregates] relationship to [arūpa & rūpa worlds in Buddhist Cosmology]..

[Fake Genius]
the law is the same.
Three types of formation:

having physical body and mental body
not having physical body but mental body only
not having mental body but physical body only

for perception, sensation (feeling) thought and consciousness to work, one needs both mental and physical body.

I think that's what you asked.
