The physicist Wolfgang Pauli (1900-58), one of the founder of quantum mechanics, was highly fascinated of Jungs archetypes. He conceived them as the underlying principles of the physical world. He even suggested a research program in order to explore the physical meaning of these archetypes. But this research program never became reality. This article gives an example how this research program could look like. It refers to a structure consisting of different circles and squares that are put together in a specific way; a structure, which is traditionally called a MANDALA. By making Einsteins special theory of relativity geometrically compatible with a transcendent background this archetypal structure surprisingly came up. As its speed limit is given by the speed of infinity, it includes the possibility to overcome special relativity theory (SRT).
