This paper tests a structural isomorphism between two models of subject formation that have never been brought into systematic contact: the psychoanalytic-semiotic apparatus (Lacan, Barthes, Metz) and Islamic esoteric thought (Ibn Arabi, Mulla Sadra, Ismaili hermeneutics). Both traditions, read not as historical discourses but as descriptions of how subjectivity is produced through the event of signification, articulate the same ontological schema: a structure in which the concealed actively generates the conditions of its own manifestation, producing the perceiving subject as consequence rather than origin. The hadith qudsī — "I was a hidden treasure and desired to be known" — posits desire as preceding the desiring subject, inverting the Cartesian cogito: not "I think, therefore I am," but "I desired to be known, and therefore I created the knower."

The convergence is formalized through cinematic operations — dissolve, cut, freeze-frame, framing, and depth of field — used not as metaphors but as analytical instruments grounded in filmmaking practice. The paper identifies a three-layered "program" (perceptual automatism, linguistic grid, cultural code) that stabilizes the subject within regimes of visibility, and introduces "de-programming" as the moment when this program fails: when punctum (Barthes) or the encounter with the Real (Lacan) briefly exposes the political architecture of the gaze. Drawing on Mulla Sadra's distinction between knowledge-as-representation and knowledge-as-presence, de-programming names a controlled alternation between interpretive flow and involuntary arrest — a minimal but structurally precise form of resistance to the narratives within which subjects are constituted. The convergence across traditions separated by a millennium is presented as a reproducible analytical result, not an analogy or a case of influence.
