Until the middle of your message i?hough?hat this was in other of my lists, the haskell list [email protected].? 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 <[email protected]> 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.? 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?erhaps 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?istances between?onads have to do with their similarities? and the "perceptions"?iven 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,?he monadic computer could operate somewhat perfectly in communication with "nearby"monads but imperfectly?ith regard to the whole computing program. ? This all happening in a sea of perfect harmony.? In a contingent computing world. ? ? ?
