This cycling and pulsating movement is not only observed in the rhythm of life, but also throughout the evolution of psyche, as Jung states.

Continuous transition of the raw material of the psyche, unites the opposite functions, shaping the attitude. These elaborations find confirmation on some recent advances formulated in Conte's quantum model of cognition ER -
