The Geometry of C. G. Jung’s: Systema Munditotius Mandala
Abstract
I have found the geometry of the mandala exists deep in the psyche as it appears in the Systema Munditotius mandala of C. G. Jung. In this article, I demonstrate the geometry of proportion, the Divine Proportion, the Golden Section, and the Extreme and Mean Ratio, which I have applied to Jung’s Systema Munditotius mandala published in The Red Book. I analyze Jung’s first mandala in its religious context and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, an important influence on Jung’s psychology.

As Donald Harms noted, Jung cited Plotinus as saying that the soul circles around the centre but does not go into the centre as it circumambulates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
