Since Leibniz's metaphysics is perfectly logical, any logical
proposition is true of his metaphysics.
Two "Leibnizian" proofs that God has the power of self-reference
1. All monads with intellect can presumably have self-reference.
2. God is also a monad with intellect, being the supreme monad.
3. Therefore God has the power of self-reference
1. God is all-powerful (can do anything).
2. Self-reference is a power.
3. Therefore God has the power of self-reference.

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

Dear Bruno,
Might it be agreeable to you to stipulate the possibility that God
(as you are defining it) does indeed have self-referential powers and
the "inconsistency" that this generates is not a problem but a solution
to the body problem? Hitoshi Kitada's work shows exactly how we can
recover a notion of action from the inconsistency at infinity. The key
is to never allow the inconsistency pollute the local logic. We see good
examples of this in the concept of omega-inconsistent theories.
