Plato's forms and archetypes

Hey Shining! To answer your questions:
1. Plato's forms are NOT Outerversal without the proper statements or cosmology to represent it. For example, stating that "plato's form of beauty exists in a higher world" would not justify a transcendence that High.
This is what a form is, a Higher degree of reality is nothing more than a dimensional transcendence. Platonic concepts in general are actually difficult to find in a fictionality because concepts are often manipulated and altered completely be wary!
In contrast though, remember if portrayed correctly, The Form of Good, or The One, would more often then not be 1-A, as it in it's most fundamental aspect, is above every complexity of space-time, which at a presupposed level extends to an Uncountable amount of dimensions.
2. Archetypes really are the same as forms in a scaling sense, do you mean platonic or jungian?

Within a sense of their usual definition? No. Both represent Universal symbols that dictate the world in an “unchanging” state. But the difference between a Jungian Archetype and Platonic is Jungian is based on Empirical Psychology, Dreams if you will. The latter would still be confined in a Spatio-temporal sense of baseline 4-D unless of course higher with case by case scenarios. Platonic archetypes really are just a fancy way of saying forms so they still retain a “eternal” nature.
