I.4 Outline of the Single Monad Model and Duality of Time Theory

Based on Ibn al-Arabi s eccentric conception of time and creation, the Single Monad Model of the Cosmos was developed between 2001 and 2005, published in 2007, and edited again in 2014. This pioneering philosophical model provided the ultimate link between the metaphysical reality of oneness and the apparent physical multiplicity of creation, by joining between the two contrasting and mutually exclusive views of discreteness and continuity; due to its two harmonious perspectives of time. Henceforth, the Duality of Time Theory was developed in 2017, from which all the principles of Relativity and Quantum theories could be derived and become complementary. According to this theory, space and matter are perpetually being re-created and layered into the outward dimensions. This creation process is happening perpetually in the inner levels of time, creating a whole frame of space at every single instance, which then appears to be evolving in the outer level that we encounter. Therefore, on the ontological level, as the World is being created, time is discrete and uniform, but phenomenologically it appears relative and potentially continuous, because of the global perpetual re-creation that is captured locally at a fixed refresh rate. Accordingly, there is no gradual motion in the common sense that the object leaves its place to occupy new adjacent places, but it is successively re-created in those new places; so motion occurs as a result of discrete change rather than any infinitesimal transmutation. With this unique approach we can accommodate instantaneous non-local change without breaking the speed of light limit, which is itself a direct consequence of re-creation. Consequently, the Duality of Time Theory provides a simple logical interpretation of quantum behavior, including all apparent dualities in nature, such as the particle-wave duality and the mass-energy equivalence.

As a result of the dynamic formation of dimensions in the inner levels of time, this model explains first how space and matter are created by the Single Monad, at every instance of the outward time, where they start evolving in the physical dimensions. Therefore, the speed of light in complete vacuum, or any other medium, is the speed of its dynamic formation, thus it is the maximum speed that cannot be exceeded, and it is invariant because motion is occurring in the outer time dimension that is orthogonal onto these spatial dimensions, which are being re-created in the inner (real) flow of time. Therefore, the final time-time dimensions becomes genuinely fractal and complex, with real and imaginary parts. The speed of light itself, in any medium, is the dynamic ratio of the outer to inner times, which is equivalent to the corresponding effective fractal dimensions, being three for the normal Euclidean vacuum space, and smaller for denser mediums.

On the other hand, although the Single Monad, which forms the unit of space-time dimensions, is an indivisible reality, it is still a compound made up by the Greatest Element that is the only real ultimate substance in existence. Just as the Single Monad is creating the World every instance of the outer (imaginary) time, the Greatest Element is generating the Single Monad at every instance of the inner (real flow of) time, and this is what gives the property of spin that plays a key role in quantum behavior, and this also what makes the re-creation appears to be discrete. All forms of manifestation of the Single Monad intrinsically cease from existence right after the instant of their becoming, and then they are re-created again in seven primary cycles that are the original creative Cosmic Week, outwardly equivalent to one instance of our normal time. The dimensions of space-time are dynamically created from these seven Cosmic Days. Since the World takes seven Days to be created by the Single Monad, which manifests in the forms of the individual monads one by one in certain specific order, so any observer would have to wait, six Days, out of existence, from Sunday to Friday, in order to witness the next moment of creation, that is the next frame of space, on the following Saturday, but we perceive all this as a single discrete moment. In each Day of these Days of creation, a corresponding direction of the World is created, and each spatial dimension is made by two time directions.

One of the invaluable rewards of this dynamic formation of dimensions is that it reduces space into time, and time into number. Therefore, the speed of light, which will naturally emerge as a first constant, is equal to the ratio between inner and outer times, which can be easily calculated based merely on the dynamic dimensions of the structure of space and objects, and it will be a unit-less constant, from which other constants will follow. Moreover, the cosmos as a whole will be a simple arithmetic machine, or a cosmic quantum computer, since its fine structure is not only quantized but literally digital , or binary , where every geometrical point of space is perpetually fluctuating between existence and non-existence, corresponding to the speed of light and absolute rest, respectively. In the existence state, space and matter are created sequentially in the real flow of time, but then they instantly collapse in the second instance of the outer normal level of time, before they are re-created again, perpetually.
