| contents | <p>This paper reexamines classical Hermetic magic and theology through the analytical frameworks of modern psychology, physiology, and cognitive science—analogous to how traditional Eastern medical systems have been reinterpreted using contemporary biomedical models. Rather than treating Hermetic correspondences as pre-scientific or symbolic curiosities, the study reconstructs them as structured cognitive and physiological patterns that naturally align with human perception and meaning-making.</p> <p>The paper introduces a resonance-based model, conceptually inspired by the structure of Fano resonance, to explain how anti-resonance and resonance generate non-linear narrative effects such as tension, alignment, and dramatic reversals. By integrating historical esoteric traditions with modern narrative theory, the work provides a systematic foundation for understanding magic as a coherent symbolic-cognitive system. This framework offers a contemporary reinterpretation of Hermeticism and contributes to the development of modern magic systems in fiction, worldbuilding, and narrative design.</p> |
