i'm struggling to recall what in the lore would serve as a basis of evidence for half of the conclusions you've reached here, since when has primal energy been tied to minds or souls, of a mountain or otherwise? primal also uses the weave whereas psionic isn't magic and doesn't.Increasingly, I am seeing the Primal power source and the Psionic power source to be the same thing.
The only difference is, the Psionic tends to emphasize the mind of a Humanoid, or an Astral (or Antiastral Aberration). Meanwhile, the Primal tends to emphasize the mind of a natural feature of the Material Plane, or relatedly the Fey and maybe the Shadow.
Generally, Arcane and Divine are two sides of the same coin, relying on the "weave" of cosmic magic.
By contrast, Primal and Psionic are two sides of the same coin, relying on an individuals own personal "soul", including the idea that a mountain or a river has a kind of soul.
