Twin Concept of Fine Structure Constant as the 'Self Number-Archetype'

Péter Várlaki, Imre J. Rudas

Published Jan 1, 2009• 1 citation
OpenAlex

Abstract

The paper - similarly to our earlier publications since 1993 - is trying to 'synchronize' early quantum physics, the Kalmanian representation theory, Jungian analytic psychology, and certain aesthetical categories. The number '137', the so-called inverse Fine Structure Constant (FSC), is placed at the centre of this heuristic and epistemological experiment, along with the scientific cooperation of Pauli and Jung. A new possibilistic twin concept of controlling-observing equations is proposed for the reinterpretation of the FSC and other Number Archetypes on the basis of the Hermeneutic and symbolic languages found in the W. Pauli and C. G. Jung Correspondence. The second part of the paper deals with the new ways of cognition and imagination related to the Background Control Theory which can be identified mainly in the Pauli-Jung collaboration anticipating the new system and control approach of R. E. Kalman Furthermore, we summarize this unusual attempt and give an extensive bibliography for further reading.

Twin Concept of Fine Structure Constant as the 'Self Number-Archetype' in Perspective of the Pauli-Jung Correspondence Part I: Observation, Identification and Interpretation

Péter Várlaki, Imre J. Rudas

Abstract: The paper – similarly to our earlier publications since 1993 – is trying to ‘synchronize ’ early quantum physics, the Kalmanian representation theory, Jungian analytic psychology, and certain aesthetical categories. The number ‘137’, the so-called inverse Fine Structure Constant (IFSC), is placed at the centre of this heuristic and epistemological experiment, along with the scientific cooperation of Pauli and Jung. A new possibilistic twin concept of “controlling-observing equations ” is proposed for the reinterpretation of the FSC and other Number Archetypes on the basis of the Hermeneutic and symbolic languages found in the W. Pauli and C. G. Jung “Correspondence”. The first part of the paper deals in first line with the introduction of the possibilistic twin concept of FSC together with its interpretation according to the hermeneutical “tradition ” of the Pauli-Jung collaboration.

Numbers and system representations in perspective of the Pauli-Jung correspondence

Péter Várlaki, László Nádai, J. Bokor

The paper deals with the basic features of the so- called synchronistic stochastic (control) systems on the basis of the extended Kalmanian system and realization theory, using the synchronicity paradigm of Jung and Pauli. It is shown that the introduced additive geometric structure number (characterizing the representation structure of synchronistic stochastic systems) is theoretically equivalent to the fine structure constant (determining e.g. the fine structure of hydrogen spectra) redefined by the authors of this paper. Finally the redefined form of fine structure constant as additive structure number (mediator number or identification number) and the amplified interpretation of structural patterns of some important objects of cultural history, as well as the hypothetically related natural and geometric structure numbers, are compared.

The Pauli-Jung conjecture and its impact today

Harald Atmanspacher A, Christopher A. Fuchs

Related to the key areas of Pauli''s and Jung''s joint interests, the book covers overlapping issues from the perspectives of physics, philosophy, and psychology. Of primary significance are epistemological questions connected to issues such as realism, measurement, observation, consciousness, and the unconscious. The contributions assess the extensive material that we have about Pauli''s and Jung''s ideas today, with particular respect to concrete research questions and projects based on and re...

The Pauli–Jung Conjecture and Its Relatives: A Formally Augmented Outline

Harald Atmanspacher A

Abstract The dual-aspect monist conjecture launched by Pauli and Jung in the mid-20th century will be couched in somewhat formal terms to characterize it more concisely than by verbal description alone. After some background material situating the Pauli–Jung conjecture among other conceptual approaches to the mind–matter problem, the main body of this paper outlines its general framework of a basic psychophysically neutral reality with its derivative mental and physical aspects and the nature of the correlations that connect these aspects. Some related approaches are discussed to identify key similarities to and deviations from the Pauli–Jung framework that may be useful for cross-fertilization.
