The microcosm-macrocosm analogy is a philosophical and metaphysical concept that draws a parallel between a small, self-contained system (the microcosm) and a larger system (the macrocosm). This analogy suggests that the structure and behavior of the smaller system can reflect or represent the characteristics and principles of the larger one.
