archetype (FS)

The ARCHETYPEs represent uniquely perfections and totalities, and not privative and hence fragmentary manifestations, and that in consequence there are earthly phenomena which are not to be found as such in the Platonic ideas precisely because they are either privative or existentially fragmentary by virtue of privation. (GTUFS: LogicT, Rationalism, Real and Apparent)
