Hi Jason,

  I am sorry I did not reply to your comment about Jung and information/semiotics. Summer school has started and I am a bit slammed. The short answer is, "yes" evolutionary-information frames connect with Jungian archetypes if one "goes broad," meaning one looks at the basic contours of the ideas and looks for overlap. That said, there is also lots of details that would be debated. In the UTUA Frame, the Influence Matrix would be the first place to look for making the connections. It maps the inherent "self-relative-to-other" relational matrix that guides the human relational system. It is where you find many of the key organizing motivational themes that characterize much of what Jung considered to be archetypes (e.g., animus, anima, etc).

Two books were helpful to me in linking psychodynamic theory and evolutionary theory:
Evolutionary Psychiatry emphasizes the connection between Jung and evo psych https://www.routledge.com/Evolutionary-Psychiatry-A-new-beginning/Stevens-Price/p/book/9781138824638
The Adaptive Design of the Human Psyche https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3681358-the-adaptive-design-of-the-human-psyche
Is excellent also.

Best,
Gregg
