In the shower today I was thinking about Jungian archetypes as a visual programming language for the subconscious. For example, if someone says, "I should be a better mother", and hold this impression in their mind over time, the associations their brain makes with that image and various behaviors can be used as a guiding force during the physical reorganization which occurs when one creates a new habit, or adjusts a behavior or muscle memory. And these associations depend upon observations made by the individual, which they have either been taught or innately know can be categorized as mother-like. The brain is typically trained to make this association in the case of the mother by mirroring and attaching to the first female who exhibits nursing behavior. These archetypes are a visual representation of deeper mental models which we are primed to carry on between generations. And then I wondered how this might apply to neural models, if some system of archetypes naturally emerges, if they're useful for programming or memorization/compression, or how we might explore imbuing existing models with an archetypical system.
