Psychoid
<p >Jung proposed that the archetype had a dual nature: it exists both in the psyche and in the world at large. He called this non-psychic aspect of the archetype the "psychoid" archetype. He illustrated this by drawing on the analogy of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum" title="Electromagnetic spectrum" >electromagnetic spectrum</a>. The part of the spectrum which is visible to us corresponds to the conscious aspects of the archetype. The invisible infra-red end of the spectrum corresponds to the unconscious biological aspects of the archetype that merges with its chemical and physical conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes#cite_note-31" >[32]</a></sup> </p>

He suggested that not only do the archetypal structures govern the behavior of all living organisms, but that they were contiguous with structures controlling the behavior of inorganic matter as well. </p>

The archetype was not merely a psychic entity, but more fundamentally, a bridge to matter in general.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes#cite_note-32" >[33]</a></sup> </p>

Jung used the term <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unus_mundus" title="Unus mundus" >unus mundus</a></i> to describe the unitary reality which he believed underlay all manifest <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenon" title="Phenomenon" >phenomena</a>. He conceived archetypes to be the mediators of the <i>unus mundus</i>, organizing not only ideas in the psyche, but also the fundamental principles of matter and energy in the physical world.</p>

It was this psychoid aspect of the archetype that so impressed Nobel laureate physicist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Pauli" title="Wolfgang Pauli" >Wolfgang Pauli</a>. Embracing Jung's concept, Pauli believed that the archetype provided a link between physical events and the mind of the scientist who studied them. In doing so he echoed the position adopted by German astronomer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler" title="Johannes Kepler" >Johannes Kepler</a>. Thus the archetypes which ordered our perceptions and ideas are themselves the product of an objective order which transcends both the human mind and the external world.<sup id="cite_ref-Stevens_2006_30-1" class="reference" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes#cite_note-Stevens_2006-30" >[31]</a></sup></p>
