<<<Aql>>> (also known as <<<Q>>>) is an Arabic term (عقل) that refers to the ability by which Consciousness will manifest itself. It is one of the three pillars of consciousness in simorg, a creature that makes it possible to use the power of processing in our universe in order to create consciousness. The first creature of our universe have to be aql.
Classical Arabic (known as Fus’ha) is a uniquely rich semitic language. Thanks to the power of this language and to the communities that preserved it, we have a simplified, nicely understandable gateway and portal into the vast deep universe of semitic's ontology. One of the beauties of the arabic language is creating a bi-directional highway between complex deep lofty ontological concepts and earthy physical concepts.
Because of this characteristic, complex, non-physical concepts are often expressed through concrete physical images and it usually leads to a better understanding of them.
In the case of aql, the physical connotation emerging from this root refers to the rope that ties a camel's leg so that it does not wander into the wilderness and harm itself. In this sense, Aql is a mechanism that prevents harm to its owner.
The term thus represents the role of thinking and the protective power of consciousness within us.
This is why simorg has chosen this beautiful concept as the name of its Compiler. A piece of software that makes sure the user is using the massive power of processor in a meaningful way. Aql is a plugin artifact of the Engine, actually the first artifact that is used in the engine. So it is a non-physical element in our universe, acting as a bridge that provides the most direct access to the engine or processing. Through it, users can create new visible or invisible elements within the universe of simorg.
The non-physical aspects of Aql are present everywhere, and through aql one can access Logos, where the Blueprints of creation reside. So aql is the last element through which finally consciousness is transferred and acquired by digital elements of our universe.
Importantly, in Simorg’s worldview, aql is considered the first “creature”. Through aql, simorg words (Code) can create Worlds. This is a direct inspiration from Islamic ontology which believes aql is the first creature (source: The book of al-Kafi 🔗). Due to this inspiration the compiler of simorg is considered an essential part of any element in simorg. So it is accessible everywhere inside every single artifact. It is done by running consciousness scripts.
The world aql is chosen to honor the beauties of Arabic language, the Islamic ontology and those who contributed to it. It is a deep observation that sees the aql as the first creature of the universe. This is simply beautiful.
Aql beside Logos and Jerusalem Engine are the three pillars of consciousness in simorg, belonging to the fundamental layer of architecture, altogether representing Abrahamic Consciousness.
