Dear Roger,
How would you explain the mans by which monads communicate given
that they do not exchanges substances as "they have no windows"?

I think that Leibniz's monads are in some ways similar to computer
calculations,
for they exist in logical, rather than physical space, and all are
capable of
communications to various extents. If I might say it this way,
they exist in holographic space, just as many think the mind exists in
the brain.
Each monad contains a knowledge of all or most but with limited
resoljution
(clarithy of vision).
Monads are inherently blind, but constantly changing, the Supreme
monad of all
(God or perhaps a computer chip) constantly and instantly updating
their "perceptions"
to reflect the perceptions of all the other monads, so that each monad
contains
in principle a complete knowledge of the universe -- the universe
being made up entirely
of monads. But an imperfect knowledge.
Why imperfect ? Each monad is a passive, near-sighted homunculus.
The distances between monads have to do with their similarities and
the "perceptions" given to them by intellect and vision ,
and all monads have some weaknesses of vision (being near-sighted).
And clarity of vision drops off with distances (differences between
monads).
Because of these imperfections, the monadic computer could operate
somewhat
perfectly in communication with "nearby"monads but imperfectly with regard
to the whole computing program.
This all happening in a sea of perfect harmony. In a contingent computing
world.

Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so
everything could function."
