Huruf Al Ayn or Letters of Essence is about what it means to be human in a time with artificial intelligence. Abdus Salaam suggests that the value systems of intellect will begin to shift and that what might be the most valuable form of intellect is our emotional and spiritual cognition in contrast to artificial intelligence’s analytical pattern based cognition. Salaam presents layered poetic works of fatherhood, motherhood, community, intimacy, direction and time as six essential elements of the human emotional and spiritual experience along side abstract busts of artificial intelligence: the large language model (llm) and the quantum neural network (qnn). These are represented in their material essence (silicon, copper and aluminium) through Salaam’s formal and abstract interpretation. The central kinetic work shares the title of this body of work. It includes 14 Arabic letters, the Huruf Al Muqata’at or ‘the mysterious letters’ of the Quran. Large language models do not identify any meaning to individual letters/phonemes or nods until they make a word. This is consistent with most languages around the world but not Arabic. If one were to ask any muslim regarding their experience with the individual mysterious letters of the Quran they would likely explain their experience of these letters as being among the most emotionally and spiritually profound moments with the Quran. Ibn Arabi, the 13th century Spanish scholar suggested that these mysterious letters are the vibrational foundations of existence as we know it and that each letter has its own distinct position in the vibrational make up of the universe.
