[2] The archetype in the Jungian sense is an empty form, a formative virtualness, a psychic force capable of structuring consciousness, without specific representative content: all interpretation of the archetype is merely one possible translation within a system of representations. "Archetypes are factors of formal order which structure unconscious psychic processes, 'patterns of behavior'. (...) The archetype is the form, perceivable by interior observation, of the a priori order of the psychic domain." (Carl Jung, Synchronicité et Paracelsica, French translation published by Albin Michel, 1988, p. 38 and p. 106). « Text

[15] Albert Einstein: "I believe in fact that a rational theory should introduce no constant that God may choose at His whim. When one has eliminated dimenionalized constants, those which remain as a result (constants without dimension) must, from this perspective, either be defined rationally (such as '"e" or "pi"), or they should not intervene in the affair at all."
