I agree with Davem. We are so far away from "defining" these elements. I consider Jung as the initial baby steps towards understanding them. We are just scratching the surface. I think aesthetics are the basis of all the subcreation and symbolism. Like the Dragons of Eden, there is a reason we all seem to have the same motivation. Can this be defined by science? I dont know.....
