Until the middle of your message i though that this was in other of my lists, the haskell list haskell-c...@haskell.org.
Haskell is a language that uses "monads" . But in tis case, the concept is borrowed from category theory. But the categorists probably borrowed it from Leibniz . Each monad defines a different kind of computation and they may be connected. The mother of all monads, which defines the main trunk of execution is the Input-Output Monad. It may be a microcosmos in a program of what Leibnitz envisioned for the whole universe ;) 2012/8/18 Roger <rclo...@verizon.net> > *Monads as computing elements, the supreme monad* > *as the central processing computer chip.* > > 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.
