A Comparative Ontological Study in Light of the A-B.F-N Model and the Quranic Vision of the Soul and Internal Sovereignty
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 6, 2026 Fatiha (Nisrine) Bouzid
This work distinguishes animal imagination, tied to survival needs (B), from human imagination, which combines survival needs with ethical awareness and existential development (F). Drawing on the A-B.F-N model and Islamic scripture, it argues that human foundational imagination is an expression of internal sovereignty, corresponding to the divine breath in the Quran. Empirical evidence from dissociative states such as sleep-related eating disorder, sleep paralysis, and distracted driving shows that B and F are functionally separable. The Sovereign Integration Index (SII) and brain network analysis are proposed to measure manifestations of F. When B dominates F, human behavior resembles animal patterns; when F dominates, ethical responsibility emerges. Artificial intelligence is described as a pure B system simulating F outputs but lacking consciousness.
