claimEmpirical evidence from clinical psychology, psychophysiology, and psychophysics supports the Pauli-Jung conjecture regarding mind-matter correlations.
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture combines an epistemically dualistic approach with an ontically monistic approach.
claimIn the Pauli-Jung conjecture, striking mind-matter correlations are termed 'synchronistic', a concept that Meier (1975) generalized to include psychosomatic relations.
claimIn the Pauli-Jung conjecture, archetypes function as ordering factors responsible for arranging mental and physical manifestations within the epistemically distinguished domains of mind and matter.
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture posits a parallel between the distinction of epistemic and ontic domains in material reality (based on quantum theory) and the distinction of epistemic and ontic domains in mental reality.
claimIn the Pauli-Jung conjecture, the physical epistemic domain consists of local realism derived from classical measuring instruments, while the physical ontic domain consists of the holistic realism of entangled systems, with the two domains connected by the process of measurement.
claimThe conceptual frameworks of Eddington-Wheeler and Bohm-Hiley lack concrete empirical consequences regarding the mental domain, whereas the Pauli-Jung conjecture offers more material for discussion in this area.
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture proposes a formal causal relationship between the psychophysically neutral monistic level and the epistemically distinguished mental and material domains, which is expressed through the ordering operation of archetypal activity.

claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture posits that correlations between the mental and physical are non-causal, maintaining the causal closure of the physical against the mental, while acknowledging a formal causal relationship between the psychophysically neutral monistic level and the distinguished mental/material domains.
referenceIn the Pauli-Jung conjecture, the physical domain distinguishes between 'local realism' (empirical facts from classical instruments) and 'holistic realism' (entangled systems), a distinction connected by the process of measurement.
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture suggests that mental and material manifestations may inherit mutual correlations because they are jointly caused by the psychophysically neutral level, reflecting the lost holism of the underlying reality.
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture defines correlations between conscious mental states and physical brain states as "synchronistic" and extends them to psychosomatic relations, as noted by Meier (1975).
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture draws an analogy between the physical measurement process and the emergence of conscious mental states from the unconscious in Carl Jung's depth psychology.
claimThe Pauli-Jung conjecture, as discussed by Atmanspacher and Fuchs in 2014, proposes a dual-aspect monism framework to explain mind-matter correlations.
