Hi Stephen P. King I appreciate criticisms of Leibniz.
Not sure what "computational complexity or universality" means although I suppose that it has something to do with "the whole is greater than its parts". That being so, if we take the parts to be monads, each part knows everything (all of the other monads) in the universe, in which there are an infinite number of monads. So the whole (the monad of monads, the All) in Leibniz is infinitely greater than the parts (its monads and their infinite contents of all the other monads. And that's just the beginning, for Leibniz says that world consists of monads within monads within monads within..... Would that overcome your objection ?

Hi Roger, This is part of the thoughts that Leibniz was wrong about since he did not know of computational complexity or universality. His explanations assumed only ideas from the material world. He was an unparalleled genius, there is no doubt of that, but he was far ahead of his time. We can now correct these errors and use the monadology as a mereological model of entities. -- Onward!
