The single monad model is a cosmological theory that is based on the Islamic philosophy of Ibn Arabi, who was a 13th century mystic and scholar. The theory tries to explain how the multiplicity of the universe emerges from the absolute oneness of God, who is the only real being. The theory also claims that this model can reconcile the apparent contradictions between the Islamic doctrine of oneness and the scientific observations of diversity and complexity in the cosmos².

The single monad model relates to other theories of consciousness in several ways. Some of them are:

- The model views **consciousness as a manifestation of God's names and attributes** in the single point of existence, called the monad, which is constantly changing its state according to God's will. The model suggests that consciousness is not a property or a function of matter, but a mode of perception and awareness of God's presence in creation². This is similar to some approaches in philosophy and religion, such as panpsychism and panentheism, which also view consciousness as a fundamental and universal aspect of reality¹.
- The model unites the **corporeal and incorporeal worlds** into one perfectly-symmetrical space, which consists of two complementary physical and psychical dimensions. The model suggests that this symmetrical space can explain some of the metaphysical phenomena, such as the existence of souls, angels, and spirits, and their interaction with matter². This is similar to some approaches in psychology and neuroscience, such as dual-aspect monism and neutral monism, which also posit a dual nature of reality: one material and one mental¹.
- The model introduces a **time-time geometry**, which states that space and time are truly unified, and that each instant of time contains a full week of creation, called the intertwining days. The model suggests that this time-time geometry can explain some of the relativity phenomena, such as the dilation and contraction of space and time, and the equivalence of mass and energy². This is similar to some approaches in physics and cosmology, such as quantum loop gravity and causal dynamical triangulation, which also allow for exotic solutions that involve closed timelike curves and superluminal travel³.

These are some of the ways that the single monad model relates to other theories of consciousness. Of course, this is a brief and simplified summary, and there are many more aspects and details that can be explored.
