Question regarding build numbers

I have build number 2143827. Per http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101450...

I am running Patch 3.

What I am looking for is when it says Patch 3, does that imply/require U1 and U2 have already been installed?

Or are the patches independent of the Update numbers?

For example you can have Patch 3 applied to U1 or U2

Or does the Patch number infer no Updates

Patch 1 came out before U1 and U2

Patch 2 came out before U2

but Patch 3 came out before U3 which of course has not been released yet.

In short I am trying to figure out what the darn order is and how they relate to one another?

The patch bundles are cumulative, so if you install the latest patch bundle you're fine (see e.g. VMware Front Experience: Are ESXi 5.x patches cumulative? and ESXi 5.x Patch Matrix)
