1. Introduction

The aim of this article is to illustrate a new and daring approach for the organization of some basic components from Jungian Psychology, tentatively paired with concepts from Physics and Philosophy. A most relevant status will be given to the rational and non-rational natures of the consciousness' psychic functions. The existence of a third nature will be proposed and justified, generating a structure that performs as a functional model of the psyche, apt to assist in the understanding of several manifestations that hold psychological interest. That model shows stable-dynamic evolving characteristics, and working from its structure and meaning it should be possible to attain reasonable explanations for questions related to the philosophical issues of unity, duality and trinity. In the last section, the model is also speculatively suggested as a simple prototype for perceived or conceived instances of physical reality.

2. Jungian Typology

One of the earliest works of C.G.Jung is Psychological Types. That book raised great interest within the psychological community and also amidst the general public, as it demonstrated in a sensible fashion the possibility to systematize and classify a number of attributes of personality according to a logical framework. The interest in further exploration of the structure outlined in Jung's typology by the consciousness orienting psychic functions has been considerably reduced. In later works by C.G. Jung himself and followers that appraise the psychic structure and paths of psychological change and evolution, the main focus of attention is usually directed to other notions such as archetypes, collective and individual consciousness and unconsciousness, anima/animus, persona, complexes, etc.
