The Schism, Mapped

Two men, one shared vocabulary, and twenty places the registry says it stopped being shared.

Not medical advice. This figure is history and epistemology rendered as a diagram, not diagnosis or treatment guidance. It shows what a primary-source reading records about two historical figures' concepts — nothing here recommends, contraindicates, or evaluates any clinical approach. Every claim traces to the registry powering this page; the registry's own partiality and stability caveats are rendered on this page, not hidden in a separate document.

The essay next door tells this divergence as history — what Freud built, what Jung took and then broke from, where the two men's readings of libido, the unconscious, and the sexual etiology of neurosis stopped being one conversation. This page renders the same claim as a figure: thirty-two concepts from the primary-source registry, connected by twenty edges of three kinds. Eleven are diverges-from — a concept the registry reads as set against the other's, stated outright in six cases and inferred in the rest. Two are mutually-contradicts — claims the registry reads as direct rivals, where holding one tells against the other. Seven are parallel-development — structurally similar ground where the registry found no documented route from one man's work to the other's, which is a gap in the record rather than proof that no influence ran. Click or tab to any dot or connecting line below for the registry's own account of what it records.

The evidentiary weight is not even across those three kinds. Six of the eleven breaks are stated outright in a source's own sentences; the rest — and every mutually-contradicts and parallel-development edge here — are the registry's inference: a documented pattern, not a claim either man made in so many words. The legend marks that difference on the line itself. And this is not the whole registry: the full instrument holds two hundred six concepts and three hundred forty-two relationships, most of them ordinary descent within one thinker's own corpus that never became a dispute. What follows is only the schism. For a walkthrough of what the four mapping grades mean, why an author's-own-objection travels with every strong one, and how to read this figure without mistaking rendering for proof, see How to Read the Figures.

Legend

Edge types

A small numbered tag on a line marks a diverges-from edge's divergence year — the registry's dating of when the break became explicit, not a claim about exactly when either man's thinking changed. A solid line is stated outright in the source; a dashed line is the registry's own inference from the pattern rather than the author's explicit words — the detail panel for each line says which.

What This Figure Does Not Show

This figure does not show ordinary descent — the elaborations, groundings, and applications within one thinker's own corpus that make up most of the full registry's three hundred forty-two edges. It does not show either man's concepts in isolation; a concept with no schism-type edge does not appear here even if the full registry maps it richly on all four axes. It does not certify that a "direct" or "structural-analogy" grade is correct — grades are one program's audited reading, not peer-reviewed scholarship, and every strong grade carries the source's own objection in the registry even where this page does not print that objection in full. And it does not claim to be finished: ten of twenty-nine catalogued source units remain unread, concentrated in Jung's later, still-copyrighted work, where the stability caveat above says new divergence claims are most likely to surface.
