Pre-established harmony & comp in relation to Platonia and Contingia I would also like to suggest that the pre-established harmony (PEH) of Leibniz is more complex but still acts as Leibniz intended, while one might apply traditional cosmological concepts to it. Perhaps someone with more physics (and brains) than I could use this to roughly specify what the PEH is. In the traditional understanding it would simply be the decay of order into disorder. Note that Penrose has looked recently into the issue of how large the entropy can get. See the series starting at

I suggest that there must also be Contingia, that being our contingent, everyday world, which, following Boltzmann and the concept of entropy, is the source of disorder. I would also like to suggest that Platonic causation is goal-oriented, also referred to by Aristotle as end causation, and favors life, while in Contingia, causation is that of everyday determinism, which tends to create disorder, entropy, decay and death. Then there will always be two opposing forces, one of order (Platonia) and one of disorder or entropy (Contingia).
