Demythologizing Jung
The process of understanding conversation is to compare the text of our sentence with contextual information we have. The question is: “How do we store and retrieve the context in our grammar?” It is not stored using relational algebra, which is the method we use to store computer database data for efficient computer store and retrieve mechanisms. Relational data storage is not fast enough and it is not broad enough in its combinatorial strength to explain the minds process.
The mind has a way of producing mental objects out of the interpretation of external information. A fresh encounter with the outer world is analyzed by a neural network. The information is carried by nerves from the sensing point. The nerve signals are filtered through neural networks.
The archetype [Jung] for that area of mental processing is the link with the conscious. From this link, a memory object can be extended from the archetype (as base class). Then the archetype layer becomes the output layer of the neural network Note the archetype layer serves both as the interpretation function determining layer (how the input is interpreted) and, in the instantiation of the object, as the base class to extend a memory object from (based on the neural interpretation).
This is a probabilistic process that is under constraints. The process is probabilistic but the constraints provide limitations so the result is controlled by these limitations and produces a meaningful pattern. Thus the constraints prevent dissipation, and encourage meaningful results. The constraints in the young child are the archetypes. As we grow older our minds develop aggregate (abstract) classes that are useful as though they were archetypes. These constrain the mental process so that meaningful patterns result from the interpretation process.
