===== - Nature, when left untouched, always tends toward providence: abundance of fruits, renewal of seeds, cycles of balance. =====
* Evil appears not in nature but in privation of nature — where truth is hidden, twisted, or abstracted.
* Thus: - The soil gives grain, unless we poison it. - The body gives joy, unless we shame it. - The mind gives clarity, unless we chain it with ideology.

So:
* Privatio boni = the philosophical key.
* Devil as distortion = the archetypal image of how the mind enacts this privation.
* Associative Mind Conditioning = the mechanism by which deprivation becomes normalized and passed on.

Do you want me to rewrite the “Devil as Inversion” draft we sketched earlier, but now explicitly anchored in privatio boni as the underlying principle — showing that the devil is not an opposite, but an absence masked as an opposite? That would tie your insight directly to both Jung and your AMC framework.
