Ibn Arabi appears as a reference point for theories of the imaginal realm—the "mundus imaginalis" or intermediate world between the divine and material—which connects medieval Islamic mysticism to contemporary discussions of how imagination and virtual spaces function in cybernetic systems. The course readings invoke this concept to suggest that digital and AI-generated spaces might operate as modern versions of these archetypal or imaginal realms, collapsing traditional boundaries between the abstract and material. This positions Ibn Arabi's metaphysics as a historical precedent for understanding how contemporary technologies remake our relationship to consciousness, representation, and reality.
