Volume I · Historical and philosophical foundations
The Single Monad Model
Time, continual creation and Ibn al-Arabi’s account of the relation between unity and multiplicity.
SMONAD LIBRARY
The Single Monad Model book series
Four connected volumes exploring time, creation, complex-time geometry and the relation between unity and multiplicity.
Four volumes, connected questions
The series begins with historical and philosophical interpretation, develops the Duality of Time proposal, explores a broader cosmological account of symmetry, and concludes with an accessible synthesis. These are four complementary reading routes through the programme.
Volume II · Inner generation and outer observation
Duality of Time
The extended argument for complex-time geometry and its proposed connections with physical theory.
Volume III · Unity, symmetry and interpretation
Ultimate Symmetry
The wider cosmological interpretation of physical, psychical and spiritual realms.
Volume IV · An accessible introduction
Time Chest
A concise route through the central questions of time, space and the Single Monad programme.
From the books to the current research
Use DoT for a short statement of the postulate. The papers catalogue and research section track more specific mathematical and physical questions. The books’ broader interpretations provide context for that work; each formal result must be read with its own assumptions and scope.
The earlier introduction to the four volumes
This earlier presentation is retained as part of the book’s publication history. It expresses the author’s arguments and aims at that stage; the current guides identify the questions pursued by the research programme.
In addition to other books and translations of some important texts of Ibn al-Arabi, this disntictive and innovative concept of TIME and CREATION is published in the Single Monad Model of the Cosmos book series that contains the following three volumes:
Volume I: Ibn al-Arabi's Concept of Time and Creation:
Ibn Arabi is the only scholar who was able to formulate a unique cosmological model that is capable of explaining our observations as well as many phenomena in physics and cosmology, and even solve some perplexing modern and historical riddles in science and philosophy such as the EPR paradox and Zeno paradoxes of motion. Moreover, the Single Monad Model explains for the first time in history the importance of the “week” as a basic unit of space and time together. This prodigious theory is based on the notion of the intertwining days where Ibn Arabi shows that at every instance of time there is indeed one full week of creation that takes place in the globe.
Volume II: The Duality of Time Theory:
The complex-time geometry of the Duality of Time Theory explains how the physical dimensions of space are sequentially being re-created in the inner levels of time, which makes the outward time genuinely imaginary with respect to the inner real levels. This is easily expressed in terms of the hyperbolic split-complex numbers, that characterize the Relativistic Lorentzian Symmetry. This will have deep implications because space-time has become naturally quantized in a way that explains and unites all the three principles of Relativity, leading to full Quantum Field Theory of Gravity, as well as explaining all the other fundamental interactions in terms of the new granular space-time geometry.
Volume III: Ultimate Symmetry:
This "ULTIMATE SYMMETRY" is a modern scientific account of the same ancient mystical, and greatly controversial, theory of the "Oneness of Being" that is often misinterpreted in terms of "pantheism", but it is indeed the concluding gnostic knowledge of God and creation. Otherwise, how can we understand the origin of the cosmos, with both or either of its corporeal and incorporeal realms, without referring to its Originator!
Volume IV: Time Chest:
The purpose of this book is to explain the mystery of time in a modest language away from any complex mathematical formulation or hefty philosophical pondering. This book is extracted and refined from the above three volumes, to make it relevant and accessible to more readers who may be interested in the definitive conclusions, rather than any exhausting proofs. Passionate readers who require further, and more comprehensive arguments, are referred to the previous volumes inside the text, whenever some urging validation may be necessary.
This is also a translation and annotation of one of Ibn al-Arabi's key treatises on the subject of time, called: kitab al-azal (the book of Eternity).

The first book was published in Arabic, by Dar-ul-Hayat (Aleppo/Beirut) in 1999. It is about the Sufi Interpretation of Joseph Story (in Quran). The title is: "The Path of the Heart''.
At the end of this book I promised that I will write another book to explain the cosmological principle behind Einstein's theory of relativity, and why the speed of light is constant in all frames! At that time, in fact, I had not the slightest idea how am I really going to do that, but it became utterly evident to me that Ibn al-Arabi's comprehensive view of the cosmos is far deeper and much more accurate than all other scientific theories, to the extent that they can only be correct if they agree with him, despite the fact that he often says things that appears to be in direct contradiction with the established scientific facts.
For example, he reppeatedly says that light is actually INSTANANEOUS! Only when I understood this mysterious fact, that contradicts our experimental observation, I was able to reconcile the principles of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, and extend them to the Incorporeal World, and -maybe most importantly- discover the reality of imaginary numbers.
In addition to that, the new cosmological model can now easily solve all the major problems of physics and cosmology, including: the arrow-of-time, super-symmetry, matter-antimatter asymmetry, wave-particle duality, mass generation, homogeneity, and non-locality. Even causality is now explained based on the most profound principle of re-creation from one single point, that is the unit of the complex-time geomerty that is creating our space-time and what it contains of all physical and metaphysical entities.
