Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious
From the public record
Proposed by: Carl Jung and the depth psychology lineage
Cross-observer symbol overlap reflects archetypal content from a shared substrate of the psyche.
In the Jungian lineage, deep symbolic material is not invented by individuals but inherited as structure, which is why myth, dream and vision rhyme across cultures. Applied to the registry, glyph convergence would be the archetypal layer made unusually legible. The reading is hard to falsify directly, but it makes a soft prediction that recovered symbols should echo motifs already present in the human symbolic record, which the catalogue can actually check.
