The symmetrical synchronic fractal transformations, T(F(SxS)), in the oscillation work between the individual unconscious and the collective unconscious

Abstract

The result of this integration is guaranteed by the simultaneous operation of several specific organizers: the principle of symmetry, synchronicity as a principle of acausal connections, the infinite sets represented by fractal objects, the super dimensional and transcendent vector spaces, the coincidence at a certain level Read more

Following these lines of thought, the authors suggest that these films can act as devices that perform the same Read more
